Description
Start by reading and following these instructions:
- Quickly skim the questions or assignment below and the assignment
rubric to help you focus. - Read the required chapter(s) of the textbook and any additional
recommended resources. Some answers may require you to do additional
research on the Internet or in other reference sources. Choose your
sources carefully. - Consider the discussions and any insights gained from it.
- Create your Assignment submission and be sure to cite your sources,
use APA style as required, check your spelling.
After Reading the case study , please create an APA power point presentation discussing on the following :
-How would the use of the Roy Adaptation Model assist the nurse in
planning the continuation of care for Sgt. Johns?
-Describe the influence of Roy ‘s Theory in guiding the nurses actions
in promoting Sgt. Johns adjusted self-concept.
-From the perspective of the Roy Adaptation Model, why is it important
for the nurse to listen to Sgt. Johns in his own words and not
just base her interactions on information from the chart, fellow
colleagues, or his family?
-Based on Neuman System’s Model, identify at least 4 stressors from
the case study. Create a plan of care based on Neuman Systems
Model for Sgt. Johns.
Case Study
Sgt. Eddie Johns leaned back against the chair in the outpatient orthopedic
clinic. His head was killing him! He wasn’t sure which was worse, the morning after
headache or not being able to sleep at night. At least when
he had a few beers under his belt so he could catch a few hours of sleep. It
had been like this since he was air evacuated back stateside from
Afghanistan after the roadside bomb went off. He was thankful that he had
only broken his leg in a couple of places and gotten a bad bump on the
head. They called that traumatic brain injury but he didn’t know what that
was and really didn’t believe them anyway. He was still thinking just fine.
His friend Joe wasn’t so lucky! How was Joe going to learn to walk on
those artificial legs? He was still in the hospital in Washington, DC. That
was pretty far from his home. Eddie wished he could visit Joe. They had
been in the same platoon for 9 months. But, Eddie was glad that he had
been able to come back to his own home town for outpatient treatment. It
took an hour to get here but at least he could see his girl almost every day.
Sure he had moved back in with his mom but it was easier to have
someone to help him get around and cook for him. It was a bummer that he
couldn’t work right now. He guessed it didn’t matter much since he really
didn’t have a job to go back to. He had been replaced at the plant. They
said they would find something for him to do once he could get around
more easily. Eddie sure hoped the doc would take the pins out of his leg
today and give him a clearance to work.
After completing this module, you will be able to do the following:
Summarize the personal, historical, educational trajectories of each
theorist that influenced the development of each model of nursing.
Compare and contrast the paradigmatic origins and core principles of
each model/theory
Describe the impact that each theorist had on the development of
nursing knowledge.
Discuss the relevance of the basic principles proposed by these
theorists to the current practice of nursing.
Compare and contrast the theoretical perspectives of each theory
and identify commonalities and differences among the theories.
Assess the application of each theoretical model to nursing research,
practice, education and administration
Overview
This module starts with Sister Callista Roy (Adaptation Model), and Betty
Neuman (Systems Model). These theories view persons (families, groups,
communities) as integrated wholes or integrated systems interacting with
the larger environmental system. The health or well-being of the person is
influenced by environmental factors. This Module concludes with nursing
theories developed in the 1970’s which include Josephine Paterson and
Loretta Zderad’s Humanistic Nursing Theory.
