Part one

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.

IN THE DISCUSSION 1)Define/explain a nursing practice area where you could apply Neuman system model

2)What patient population would you target in applying the model 3)How would you use this model to guide your practice ? 4)how would nursing outcomes be determined?

5)Use at least ONE CURRENT RESEARCH ARTICLE related to your practice (cited and referenced)

Assignment:

Create a Power Point Presentation to discuss the following

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.

· 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 nurse’s 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’ “story” 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. 

Your PowerPoint should include at least 1 outside reference and your book. The presentation should be 10 to 15 slides in length. Including reference slide
