Henderson's Theory
Virginia Henderson defines nursing as "assisting the undivindiv, sick or well, in the performance of those activities that will contribute to health, recovery or a peaceful death and that the individual would perform unaided if he or she had the necessary strength , will or knowledge"
The process of nursing strives to do this as rapidly as possible, & the goal is independence. Henderson organised the theory into 14 basic needs of the whole person and includes phenomena from the following domains of the client: physiological, psychological, sociocultural, spiritual and developmental. Together the nurse and client work together to meet these needs and attain client centered goals.
