A
Holistic nursing integrates all aspects of an individual's life into the plan of care by balancing an individual's internal and external environment with psychosocial, spiritual, cultural, and physical processes.
Healthy People 2020, an updated document from 2000 that outlines the goals for achieving health in this country, is a mandate for health care professionals to follow with 467 objectives in 28 focus areas. Maslow's Hierarchy of Human Needs provides a basis for understanding indi-viduals in context and for ranking nursing assessments, diagnoses, goals, and interventions in order of importance. Dorothea Orem's Self-Care Requirements lists human needs, including the need for air, fluids, nutrition, hygiene, elimination, activity, comfort, relief from suffering, and skin integrity. The nurse helps individuals meet these needs to achieve optimal health and well-ness.
