    how those goals will be met. Imogene King's theory was about patient and nurses
    working together to mutually set goals that were achievable by the patient to help
    them attain and maintain health. The key to her cherry is that goals have to be set
    mutually the patient had to be involved in his or her care and that the Nurse patient
    relationships was crucial to have. King was able to do this by the three integrated
    working systems. (Persons interpersonal relationships and social contexts).
