This statement is true. This phrasing captures the essence of Virginia Henderson's seminal definition of nursing. Her focus was on assisting patients to move towards independence, not fostering dependence. The definition emphasizes that nursing care should be aimed at helping patients perform activities (like breathing, eating, mobilizing) that they would perform on their own if they were not limited by lack of strength, will, or knowledge. This philosophy promotes patient autonomy, dignity, and rehabilitation, and remains a foundational principle in modern nursing theory and practice.
