- Care must encompass both total care and individualized contexts.
Major Attributes of Human Beings
- Capacity for abstract thought.
- Ability to form families.
- Need for territory.
- Use of verbal symbols and language to develop culture.
Approaches in Studying Man
- Atomistic Approach: Focuses on man as an organism, examining cells, tissues, and organs.
- Holistic Approach: Views human beings as integrated wholes, where disturbances affect overall health and balance.
Holistic Health
- Involves the overall quality of a person’s lifestyle and well-being.
- Core components include health education, maintenance, promotion, illness prevention, and rehabilitative care.
- Goals of holistic nursing focus on enhancing and healing individuals throughout their life.
Systems Theory
- A system comprises identifiable interacting parts.
- Two fundamental system components: Matter (body), Energy (chemical/thermal), and Information (Communication via the nervous system).
- Closed System: Isolated from the environment; no input/output exchange.
- Open System: Engages in continuous exchange of stimuli and energy with the environment.
Nursing Concepts of Man
- Individuals are biological beings composed of subordinate and superordinate systems.

- Love and Belonging Needs: Develop with regular fulfillment of prior needs.
- Self-esteem Needs: Emerge as individuals seek value and respect.
- Self-actualization: Manifest when earlier needs are satisfied, reflecting self-fulfillment.
Characteristics of Basic Human Needs
- Basic needs are universal but influenced by individual culture and context.
