Abstract
In this chapter one of the most well-known models of nursing will be examined—that developed in the work of Virginia Henderson. Like the medical model of care described in Chapter 2, Henderson’s model of nursing emphasises the existence of biological needs within people. As will be seen, however, unlike the former, Henderson’s nursing model also argues that people have important psychological and social needs that can sometimes lead to a need for nursing care.
