This paper presents a broadly based conceptualized model of nursing practice. Nursing is defined as the therapeutic use of self for the benefit of others after first having acquired the knowledge and skill necessary to identify need. Essential to nursing is the interaction of nurse with client(s). Interactions can be diagnostic, therapeutic, educative, or supportive, and can address four categories of client needs: health, developmental, emotional, and interpersonal.
