1 Psychological needs
2 A maximal level of wellness
3 Health maintenance and restoration

order to remain free of disease or to recover from disease.

clients, it is not the focus of her theory. The goal of Nightingales theory is to facilitate the bodys
reparative processes by manipulating the clients environment.
Florence Nightingale thought the human body had reparative properties of its own if it was cared
for in a way to recover from disease. Her theory did not focus on achieving a maximal level of
wellness.
Florence Nightingale believed the nurse was in charge of the clients health. Although she
interacted with her clients by reading to them, her theory of nursing care did not focus upon
interpersonal interactions.
