Which of the following is not one of Virginia Henderson's 14 basic needs of a patient?
Answer: D
The one that is not among Henderson's needs is Social work.
Virginia Henderson listed 14 basic needs that nursing helps a patient meet, beginning with breathing normally, eating and drinking adequately and eliminating body wastes, and going on to movement, sleep, clothing, temperature, hygiene, safety, communication, worship, work, recreation and learning.
Her list includes working in a way that gives a sense of accomplishment, but 'social work', a profession, is not one of the needs. The other three options come straight from the list.
