Which nursing system in Orem's framework is focused on providing supportive-educative guidance to enable patient self-care?

• A. Wholly compensatory
• B. Partly compensatory
• C. Supportive-educative
• D. Independent- collaborative

Answer: (C)

In Orem's framework, three nursing systems describe how care is provided based on the patient's ability to perform self-care. The one that centers on giving supportive guidance and education to enable self-care is the supportive-educative system. In this approach, the nurse teaches, demonstrates, and offers encouragement, gradually helping the patient acquire the knowledge and skills to care for themselves. The nurse steps back from performing the tasks and supports the patient as the primary self-care agent, fostering independence and competence. By contrast, wholly compensatory means the nurse does everything for the patient, and partly compensatory means both nurse and patient share in performing self-care activities. The term independent-collaborative isn’t the standard designation in this theory for describing this particular supportive-educative role.
