The Individual.
According to the theory, basic needs of individuals are components of health.
Individuals therefore need assistance to achieve health.
The mind and body of the individual are interrelated.
The theory views a patient as mult iple parts with biophysical needs rather than a
client.
According to Henderson’s nursing need theory, individuals are always in need of basic
needs some of which happen to be components of health. The individuals require help
to be independence and healthy or even get a peaceful health. The mind and body are
interrelated and inseparable; thus, the individual considers the psychological, spiritual,
biological, and sociological components. Moreover, the theory considers the patient
as the sum of parts with biophysical needs rather than a customer or client.
