The correct answer to this open question is the following.
We are talking about the framework of the Self-Care Nursing Deficit Theory, developed by Dorothea Orem.
Orem (1914-2007) was an important scholar and researcher that develop this theory also known as the Orem Model of Nursing.
One example of how other applications of this theory may occur in nursing practice is in the rehabilitation field. Yes, when a patient has been recovered from an illness, one of the things that can be applied is that self-care by the patient itself. After having received treatment from medical doctors and taken care of by nurses, the patient is invited to develop its self-care and show perseverance and dedication to do what is required on its part. The patient must act deliberately and trust in its own set of rehab practices to improve its condition.
