The definitions stated in this theory is very broad as it cover all areas of nursing practice and could be applied in every setting. The 14 fundamental needs of human in this theory are not the only things that a person needs in order to survive to maintain his/her health. There are so many changes and new things today that a patient needs in order to survive or recover from his/her disease. But still, I can say that those 14 fundamental needs belongs to the basic needs that a patient or person needs in order to be in a good condition. Henderson’s theory on the definition of health is based on the individual’s ability to function independently as what was inside the 14 fundamental needs of human.

Nurse-Patient Relationship

o The nurse substitute to patient

as In times of illness when the patient cannot function fully, the nurse serves as the the substitute as to what the patient lacks such as knowledge, will and strength in order to make him complete, whole and independent once again.

o The nurse as helper to The nurse serves as a helper to accomplish them. Since these needs are needed the patient to achieve health, the nurse focuses her attention in assisting the patient meet these needs so as to regain independence as quickly as possible. o The nurse as partner As partners, the nurse and the patient formulate the care plan together. the with the patient nurse can empower the patient to make effective decisions regarding his care plans and as the relationship goes on, they both see each other as partners whose interest are the same having the patient achieve health and independence.

Nurse – Physician Henderson asserted that nurses function independently from physicians. The Relationship plan of care must be implemented in such a way that will promote the physician’s prescribed therapeutic plan. She also insisted that nurses do not follow doctor’s order; rather they follow in a philosophy which allows physicians to give orders to patients or other healthcare team members, nurses’ function in the nurse– physician relationship.
