Biological Need
The care circle represents the patient’s body. The care circle addresses the role of nurses and is focused on performing the task of nurturing patients. This means the “motherly” care provided by nurses, which may include comfort measures, patient instruction, and helping the patient meet his or her needs when help is needed.
The Cure Circle – Pathological Need The cure circle represents the disease that affects the patient’s physical system The cure is the attention given to patients by medical professionals. These are the interventions or actions geared toward treating the patient for whatever illness or disease they are suffering from.
