Watson's and Orem's Theories

Paper Summary:

From the writer's experience, it can be highly recommended to use a combination of both Orem's and Watson's theories with a person, such as Mrs. D. Orem uses the nursing process, so that this patient's self-care deficits can be assessed, and a plan of care developed. The writer describes that while doing assessment and implementing the care plan, through Watson's model, nursing is being practised not merely as a science but as an art. Further, the writer focuses on providing care interpersonally and maintains that the two models complement one another.

From the Paper:

"In interaction with the patient, the nurse uses a wide and specialized knowledge base, part of which consists of nursing models and their related theories."
