Virginia Henderson developed the Nursing Need Theory which identifies 14 fundamental human needs that constitute the Activities of Daily Living (ADLs). These needs comprehensively address physical, psychological, social, and spiritual dimensions: breathing normally; eating and drinking adequately; eliminating body wastes; moving and maintaining desirable postures; sleeping and resting; selecting suitable clothing; maintaining body temperature; keeping the body clean and well-groomed; avoiding dangers in the environment; communicating with others; worshipping according to one's faith; working in a way that provides a sense of accomplishment; participating in recreational activities; and learning and discovering. Henderson defined nursing as assisting individuals with these activities when they lack strength, will, or knowledge. Her work emphasizes holistic care and promoting patient independence, influencing nursing education and practice globally.
