in the process of writing textbooks,
Henderson was forced to define
nursing [7]«
 Definition of Nursing
³The unique function of the nurse is to assist
the individual, sick or well, in the
performance of those activities contributing
to health or its recovery (or to peaceful death)
that he would perform unaided if he had the
necessary strength, will, or knowledge, and to
do this in such a way as to help him gain
independence as rapidly as possible.´ [5]
 ³It is my contention that the nurse is,
and should be legally, an independent
practitioner [as long as she is not
performing the doctor¶s duties.] But
the nurse is the authority on basic
nursing care. Perhaps I should explain
that by ¢

  I mean
helping the patient with the following
activities«´ [6]
 Ô Fundamental Needs [5]
Ô. Breathing normally
2. Eating and drinking adequately
3. Eliminating body wastes
. Moving and maintaining a desirable position
5. Sleeping and resting
6. Selecting suitable clothes
7. Maintaining body temperature« by adjusting cothing and modifying the
environment
8. Keeping the body clean and well-groomed«
9. Avoiding dangers in the environment and avoiding injuring others
Ô
. áommunicating with others in expressing emotions, needs, fears, or
opinions
ÔÔ. Worshipping according to one¶s faith
Ô2. Working in such a way that one feels a sense of accomplishment
Ô3. Playing or participating in various forms of recreation
Ô . Learning, discovering, or satisfying the curiosity that leads to normal
development and health, and using available health facilities
 Nurse¶s role
‡ Substitutive : acting for a person
‡ Supplementary : assisting a person
‡ áomplementary : working with the person

³«with the goal of helping the person become

as independent as possible.´[8]
 ³Today I see the role of nurses as
givers of µprimary health care,¶ as
those who diagnose and treat when
a doctor is unavailable« Nurses
may be the general (medical)
practitioners of tomorrow«´ [6]
but what is
Henderson¶s
theory?
Ô. Henderson wrote her definition of nursing
before the development of theoretical
nursing[7]
2. Henderson describes nursing roles in relation
to patient needs instead of a general theory of
nursing[7]
3. Henderson¶s work is useful for and used by
nurses in different nations and cultures[Ô,7],
because her work is practical and based on
her nursing experience
 
  
 


¢
  
:
the nursing assessment, diagnosis,
plan, and evaluation parallels the
doctors¶ and general decision-
making processes; therefore, what
is uniquely nursing in the nursing
process? [7]
 
      
   ¢  
: nurses
need more work on basic sciences
and scientific method, application
of science to nursing, financial
management, policy-making, being
assertive[7]
