The goal of Orem's theory is to help the client perform self-care.
The goal of Nightingale's theory is to shift the focus from the disease process toward an envi-ronment conducive to healing.
Henderson defined nursing practice as assisting the individual, sick or well, in the performance of those activities that will contribute to health, recovery, or a peaceful death.
Peplau's theory defined the core of nursing as the interpersonal relationship between the nurse and the client.
