First sentence: In 1966, Virginia Henderson wrote a definition of nursing that clearly delineated the nursing profession from that of medicine: The unique function of the nurse is to assist the individual, sick or well, in the performance of those activities contributing to health or its recovery (or a peaceful death) that he would perform unaided if he had the necessary strength, will or knowledge.
