Accepted Answer

According to Orem's Self-Care Deficit Theory, the nurse's role is to design and produce nursing care for others. This means that the nurse must have clear specifications for what interventions are necessary to meet the patient's self-care needs. The nurse coordinates care with other health providers, but this is not the primary specification of the nursing role. Similarly, while maintaining an objective stance is important, it is not a specification unique to the nursing role. Finally, while initiating caring is a core value of nursing, it is not a clear specification for the nursing role as defined by Orem.
