water, and housing. This theory states that the imbalance between the patient and the

Hildegard Peplau (1952) focused on the roles played by the nurse and the interpersonal process
jt jt jt jt jt jt jt jt jt jt jt jt jt jt jt
between a nurse and a patient. Virginia Henderson described the nurse‘s role as substitutive
jt jt jt jt jt jt jt jt jt jt jt jt jt jt
(doing for the person), supplementary (helping the person), or complementary (working with the
jt jt jt jt jt jt jt jt jt jt jt jt jt
person), with the goal of independence for the patient. Martha Rogers (1970) developed the
jt jt jt jt jt jt jt jt jt jt jt jt jt jt
Science of Unitary Human Beings. She stated that human beings and their environments are
jt jt jt jt jt jt jt jt jt jt jt jt jt jt
interacting in continuous motion as infinite energy fields.
