The aim of this study was to reflect about patient safety in intensive care units in the light of Wanda Aguiar Horta’s Theory of Basic Human Needs. The investigation used the 10-Step Booklet on Patient Safety and the psychobiological, psychosocial and psychospiritual dimensions of the theory. The choice of this theoretical framework can be explained by the fact that its elements provide meaning to nursing care in different contexts, such as the critical care environment. The research resulted in the design of a chart exhibiting the relation between the 10-Step Booklet on Patient Safety and Horta’s Theory of Basic Human Needs. After a theoretical reflection, it was concluded that there is a connection between Horta’s basic needs and the 10 steps, which implies that an appropriate implementation of this theory could support risk-free care.
