Topic > Essay on Dorothy Orem's Self-Care Theory - 1245

The hospital will provide nursing care and teaching based on Dorothea Orem's theory. Nurses will be taught to assess patients based on this theory and help them with the deficits they face. Nurses will assess their patients' needs. They will look at the three different types of needs, universal self-care, developmental, and health diversion requirements. Nurses will then be able to identify which areas the patient needs most. The nurses' ultimate goal will be to get patients back to the best of their ability and to make them as self-sufficient as possible.
