II.Theories of Nursing
Nursing theories identify and describe interrelated con-
cepts that influence the practice of nursing. They provide
a knowledge base that is broadly applicable to the variety
of situations confronted by nurses. Each theory is unique,
but they all include the patient as the focus of the theory.
A.Care Deficit Theory of Nursing —Dorothea Orem
1.Self-care is a purposeful learned behavior in response to a need.
2.Four concepts.
a. Self-care: Self-initiated activities that a person
performs to maintain life, health, and well-being.
b. Self-care agency: An individual’s ability to engage in self-care based on developmental
level, experiences, and available resources.c. Therapeutic self-care demand: Comprehensive
self-care actions required to meet personal self-
care requisites.
d. Self-care requisites: Actions directed to meeting
universal needs common to all people, such as air, water, food, elimination, activity, rest,
solitude/social interactions, safety, and promotion of human function.
3.Nursing implications.
a. Promotes nursing care, such as acting, doing
for, guiding, teaching, supporting, and provid-
ing a supportive milieu that increases patients’
self-care abilities.
b. Increases patients’ self-care activities to maintain
life, health, and well-being.

tural care profession.
b. Requires nurses to provide culture-specific care
that assists patients to achieve and maintain
health.

ness, love of self and others, and respect for the
spiritual domain.
