Description of Theory: “Orlando’s theory is a reflective practice that is based on discovering and resolving problematic situations” (Alligood, 2010, p. 339). This theory is focused on defining the nurse-patient relationship. According to Orlando, the main function of nursing is to determine the needs of the patient and ensure that these needs are met, whether by the nurse or by others. The patient will have verbal and nonverbal behaviors that clue the nurse into the nature of his or her problems. The nurse must explore these behaviors with the patient to determine the needs that must be met to resolve the problematic situation that the patient presents with. The nurse must also be aware of his or her reactions to the cues the patient presents and must validate these reactions with the patient. It is always possible for the nurse to misinterpret the behaviors of a patient, and form incorrect ideas about what the patient needs. Validating the behaviors with the patient ensures that the nurse can fulfill the function of nursing, which is to find and meet the patient’s immediate need for help in the immediate situation which results in improvement (Alligood, 2010). The success of the help provided can be evaluated by observing for improvement in the patient’s verbal and nonverbal behavior. These behaviors must also be validated with the patient. This makes this theory dynamic and collaborative.…
There are many different theories that are used in the nursing profession. Each of these theories have their own concept and uniqueness that can be applied in a nursing capacity. All nursing theories have some form of connection to the advanced practice nurse (APN) practice. There are different types of theories for nursing circumstances. It is important for APN to obtain a good understanding and know how to apply the theory to their practice. Some of these nursing theories are Maslow's theory, Orem Self Care theory, and Watson theory. Maslow’s theory involves the use of a pyramid to address the needs of human beings reaching self- actualization. Paris and Terhaar (2011) used Maslow's Theory in combination with the National Database for Nusing…

Nurses are trusted to care for people at their most vulnerable moments. In today’s modern healthcare system it is imperative that we utilize nursing theories to provide the best care to clients. Since the time of Florence Nightingale, nurses have been following various nursing theories to provide optimum care to their patients. These theories act as a guide to assist nurses in making changes in health care for the benefit of their patient. Nursing theories can also support professional autonomy and credibility within this field. The nursing theories that we utilize help us to provide the highest level of care to our patients. These nursing theories can also help us to become well rounded as nurses so that we give the most appropriate care to people that need our services. In doing so we assist them to become individuals that can manage their healthcare needs. When individuals are unable to care for themselves, they need to trust that the nurse has the capability to attend to their needs in an effective way.…
The author selected Orem’s Self-Care Deficit Nursing Theory as the Grand nursing theory in reference to the POI. Orem’s Self-Care Deficit Nursing Theory offers a framework for providing interventions that encourage individuals to formulate options in his/her care and treatment through collaboration and education (Seed & Torkelson, 2012). Surprisingly, self-care deficit develops because the influence and capability of a person to meet his/her own self-care needs are not applicable in relation to illness and health-related causes (Seed & Torkelson,…
My personal philosophy reinforces the existing nursing theories, because it borrows heavily from Jean Watson theory of Human Caring. The main defining elements of my philosophy are respect for life and dignity of every person. This implies that the theory takes into consideration the various physical, spiritual and environmental needs required by patients to attain the anticipated health outcomes. For this reason, my personal philosophy places a greater responsibility on the nurse to create a favorable environment of promoting health for the…
According to Whitlock, Orleans, Pender, and Allan (2002), the HBM’s main focus is on the patient perceptions of a health threat, identification of barriers, and the promotion of modified behaviors. This HBM is ideal for health prevention as well as promotion. As the Nurse Practitioner (NP), my main role is to educate Mrs. Anderson on hypertension and her weight. The NP has the responsibility to educate the patient on the potential consequences of a health problem, assist in identifying potential modifications in order to promote behavior change, and prevent those consequences. Mrs. Anderson has to perceive a threat to her health, the seriousness of the threat, and that she is susceptible for other potential health problems. She also has to identify and understand the consequences versus the benefits of behavioral modification. In order for change to occur, she requires this trigger or cute to action (Whitlock et al., 2002). In this scenario, Mrs. Anderson has sought medical assistance for her lack of sleep and lower back pain. The NP triggers change by reviewing the benefits of changes to the patient’s behavior and encourage adherence to the behavior. Mrs. Anderson has to believe in her ability to change her behavior in order for her to stay compliance. The NP’s role with non-adhering patients is to continue to educate and encourage change despite failure to adhere by the…
Today, Martin Luther King Jr is perceived as a hero, and a role model. Every school in America teaches of his courageousness, and of his famous “I have a dream” speech. Our children our taught of the endless fight african americans like MLK went through, one that is still going on today. Martin Luther King’s speech was heard by many, expressing his views to the people to try and show them that the way society was at that point is not how the Lord intended for it to be. But to one viewing America from afar, it is evident that his dream has not been achieved, because there is still racial segregation in our society today. The only way for Martin Luther King Jr’s dream to be realized is to put an end to the racial inequality towards blacks by…
continually add to her knowledge base, but to arm the patient with knowledge as well. According to Nola Pender’s Health Promotion Model, “patients’ quality of life could be improved by the prevention of problems, and health care dollars could be saved by the promotion of healthy life styles” (2011, Nursing Theory). The model assists nurses in identifying detrimental health behaviors in order to provide a basis for behavioral health counseling for the promotion of a healthy life style.…
It may be said; why is psychology significant in nursing care and why do we use learning theories to assist in patient care? Well according to Walker et al (2007), in the caring profession nurses, spend most, if not all of their working lives interacting with other people. A key part of a nurse’s job is to promote healthful behaviour. When a patient is admitted to hospital it is often their physical illness that can cause a lot of emotional distress. This means gaining a better understanding of how people cope with illnesses whether acute or chronic. Understanding health psychology will enable health care professionals to instigate healthful behaviours or ease stressful behaviours in patients. There are many evidence based behaviours that healthcare professionals can use to alleviate certain situations. Learning theory is a coherent framework of integrated constructs and principles that describe explain or predict how people learn. In this assignment the author will endeavour to discuss how behaviours and social learning theories are noteworthy in caring for people in hospital.…

James (1968). Following this analysis of the model, a clinical example of the application of the model is presented. Analysis Philosophical Assumptions: Orem has presented the following assumptions about the nature of man, the nature of nursing, and the interactions between man and environment. Regarding the nature of man, Orem sees man as responsible for his own self-care in relation to his health. She also sees man as responsible for others who are dependent upon him (children, the sick and the elderly). Thirdly, she believes man has the right to choose or not to choose in relation to his health (Orem, 1980, pp. 1-33). For Orem, nursing is viewed as a human service which is valued in many social groups. Nursing is considered to be a mode of helping, wherein the focus of nursing is the individual's self-care action. Nursing intervention is necessary, within Orem's framework, in order to sustain life and health, to facilitate recovery from disease or injury and to help…
Many people decide to pursue a career in nursing because they want to be instrumental in helping patients get healthy. In order to do that, it's necessary to set health goals with the patient, then take steps to achieve those goals.

A nurses goal in a client empowering situation, is the well-being of the client, except in this situation the mindset is not “I must get the patient to regain health”, the mindset is, “I must help the client regain health” with this mindset the nurse enters into a collaborative relationship with the client, where the client plays the part of an equal partner and, an active (receiving/giving information)…
