About this title

Synopsis:

Intended for practitioners, researchers and advanced students in nursing and the allied health professions, this book provides a comprehensible overview of Orem's self-care deficit model of nursing. The model envisions that nursing should be concerned with the patient's need to move continuously towards responsible action in self-care in order to sustain life and health or to recover from disease or injury. This book describes the actions required of nurses to achieve these goals.
