Identify a current nursing practice example where Orem’s theory would be relevant

/in /by

Part one:

Discussion Question:

Henderson believed nurses have the responsibility to assess the needs of the individual patient, help individuals meet their health needs, and provide an environment in which the individual can perform activities unaided. What is an opportunity in your nursing practice that would benefit from application of Henderson’s theory? How does this align with the ANA’s definition of nursing? Provide at least one evidenced-based research article to support this recommendation.

Your initial posting should be at least 400 words in length and utilize at least one scholarly source other than the textbook. Please reply to at least two classmates. Replies to classmates should be at least 200 words in length.

Part two:

Assignment:

This week you will create a two-part Power Point to discuss the following:

Part one:

Peplau was the first nursing theorist to identify the nurse–patient relationship as being central to all nursing care. Peplau valued knowledge, believing that the nurse must possess extensive knowledge about the potential problems that emerge during a nurse–patient interaction. Peplau’s theoretical work on the nurse–patient relationship continues to be essential to nursing practice.

  • Describe the phases of the Nurse-Patient relationship as defined by Peplau. Align your presentation regarding the use of Peplau’s theory with a current practice example.

Part two:

Provide a discussion of Orem’s Self-Care Deficit Theory. Identify and explain the three related parts? Identify a current nursing practice example where Orem’s theory would be relevant. Use at least one evidenced-based research article to support your practice example. The PowerPoint should include at least 3 outside references and the textbook. It should include title and reference slides and be 14-20 slides.

/in /by

What is the difference between a group “at risk” for poor health and a group considered a “vulnerable” population? Provide an example of an “at risk” or “vulnerable population” group in the United States and one in another country (or immigrants within the United States).

  1. Explain why members of these groups cannot advocate for themselves or why advocating for these groups would be beneficial.
  2. What would you advocate for?
  3. Identify ethical issues that need to be addressed when working with these individuals.
  4. Provide information about the selected “at risk” group. How many individuals fall into this group and what are some issues they face.

    how are state health departments structured?

    /in /by

    State and local health agencies are not the only governmental organizations working to reduce the burden of disease and ill health in society. Federal, state, and local government all play important roles through agencies that are better known for other responsibilities, such as law enforcement and transportation. The complexities of government and its various agencies add an essential, but not necessarily the most important, dimension to public health practice. The prevention of motor vehicle-related injuries is a prime example of a situation in which multiple agencies, and not just those that are health related, have a shared responsibility.

    Using the readings for the week, the South University online library, and the Internet, write a 3–5-page paper.

    Cover the following:

    • For the prevention of motor vehicle-related injuries, provide an analysis of how responsibilities are assigned or delegated among the following:
      • The three levels of government: federal, state, and local
      • Various agencies of those levels of government

      Write a 3-5 page paper discussing how the public health system is set-up in the U.S.  Include a discussion on: the main public health functions of state health departments, how are state health departments structured, how are state health departments structured

    Submission Details:

    • Support your responses with examples.
    • Cite any sources in APA format.
