"The need theory is relevant to the clinical setting and can serve as a framework to recognize caring needs, deliver and evaluate holistic nursing care" (Artisham & Jacoline, 2015). This will encourage the patient to contribute to their cares, while fostering a sense of independence which contributes to the ultimate goal. Henderson has given nursing a foundation on which to build nursing practice to improve patient outcomes.
