A. Background

The theory of Self-care Deficit was developed by Dorothea Orem. This theory states that a self-care deficit occurs when the patient or the guardians of dependents are unable to meet the requisites for self-care (Edney, Jaime & Young, n.d.). When this happens, nursing help is needed. More specifically, nursing care is used to help people enhance their self-care abilities, which they would need for survival and for maintaining their well-being and their quality of life.

Born in Baltimore, Maryland in 1914, Orem completed her diploma program from the Providence High School of Nursing and later received her bachelor’s and ...

In carrying out a patient assessment, important components such as patient health history and physical health should be examined using a holistic approach. A nurse would require information from the patient, friends and family, diagnostic tests and patient medical records (Jarvis, 2004). A comprehensive assessment should include a detailed survey of physical signs such as weight and height, an assessment of the patient’s body systems and organs. On the other hand, a priority assessment is a short evaluation, normally completed within 5 minutes, which gives an overall evaluation of the patient. However, a more in-depth assessment of the patient is required to make a diagnosis.
