Describe nursing theorists and the key tenants of their theories.
Grand Nursing Theory: Imogene King -The Theory of Goal Attainment -Developed in the early 1960's -Views nursing as a process of human interaction -Describes a dynamic, interpersonal relationship in which a patient grows and develops to attain certain life goals -Factors which can affect the attainment of goals are roles, stress, interaction, space, time, role, and communication Grand Nursing Theory: Martha Rogers -Rogers' theory emphasizes that a patient should be viewed as whole(mind, body and spirit) instead as parts -This model is applicable to practice with nursing care focused on pattern appraisal and patterning activities -Science of Unitary Human Being theory is used as a guide in nursing practice and can be used to create nursing intervention Grand Nursing Theory: Sister Callista Roy -The Roy Adaptation Model was developed in 1974. -The concepts: Roy Adaptation Model evaluates the patient in self concept mode, and interdependence mode aiming to provide holistic care. Propositions: Relational propositions Grand Nursing Theory: Dorothea Orem -Dorthea Orem (born in 1914) is the creator of the self-care deficit nursing theory which was developed between 1959 and 2001. -The theory is also known as the Orem's Model of Nursing -This grand theory is often used in rehabilitation or primary care environments. It encourages independence among patients. Grand Nursing Theory: Betty Neuman -Formed in 1982 -Focuses on the client system in relationship with stressors -Lines of defenses Flexible lines of defense Normal line of defense Lines of resistance -Flexible line of defense protects the normal line of defense. -Normal line of defense represents what the client has become or the usual wellness state -Stressors attack flexible line of defense then normal line of defense -The greater the quality of the client's system's of health, the greater the protection is provided by the various lines of defense Grand Nursing Theory: Dorothy Johnson -Johnson's Behavioral Systems Model, 1968 -The essential principles concepts and propositions: efficient and effective behavioral theory to prevent illness and integrate the patient holistically.
Describe fundamental elements of theory and the impact of theory and theoretical frameworks on nursing practice.
Grand Nursing Theory: Imogene King Person: A personal system that interacts with the interpersonal and social system. Environment:can be both external and internal. The external environment is the context in which humans can grow, develop and perform daily activities like in covid context: habit of sanitization, and hand washing and internal environments enable them to adjust to continuous external environment changes. For example: maintaining six feet distance, wearing a mask etc. health: dynamic life experience which implies continuous adjustment to stressor in the internal and external environment through optimum use of resources and benefits from them in daily living. Nursing: the process of interaction to help patients achieve their goals. Grand Nursing Theory: Martha Rogers Person: human beings are organized into unique energy fields and develops through three principles: helicy, resonancy, and integrality Environment: An energy field which is identified by pattern and manifesting characteristics separate from any given human energy field Health: health and illness are part of a continuum Nursing: promote synchronicity between human and environmental energy fields and to direct/redirect patterning of these fields in order to realize maximum health potential Grand Nursing Theory: Sister Callista Roy Person: the Roy Adaptation Model views a person as a "biopsychosocial being in continuous interaction with a changing environment" Environment: "includes focal, contextual, and residual stimuli" Health: "an anticipated dimension of human life and represents a health disease continuum" Nursing: Roy defines nursing as a science, requires the adaptation of knowledge (scientific) and bringing this adaptation of knowledge into the nursing field/career Grand Nursing Theory: Dorothea Orem Person: This theory mainly focuses on the patient's ability to perform self-care. Environment: The community and physical environment of a patient is easily accessible and fit to accommodate their needs in order for them to perform self-care. Health: Aiding to the patient's healthfully so that they are functioning well and able to communicate with others about their needs or assistance in order to stay healthy. Nursing: Nurses help assist patients in certain needs so that it is easier for the patients to meet their needs for self-care. Grand Nursing Theory: Betty Neuman Persons:Physiological, Psychological, Sociocultural, Developmental, Spiritual Variables. She connects all of these variables with the internal and external environments for each patient. Environment:Three relevant environments identified are the internal environment, the external environment, and the created environment The environment is seen to be the totality of the internal and external forces These forces surround a person in which they interact at a given time. The created environment is an example of an effort to delineate the holistic concept approach of the model in addition to spirituality Health: focuses on a "continuum" of wellness to illness. She equates this continuum with an optimal system ability. Nursing: Prevention should be used at intervention A nurse should be concerned with all potential stressors. Grand Nursing Theory: Dorothy Johnson Person: A biopsychosocial being who is a behavioral system with seven subsystems of behavior. Health: Efficient and effective functioning of system; behavioral system balance and stability. Environment: Includes internal and external environment. Nursing: An external regulatory force that acts to preserve the organization and integrity of the patient's behavior at an optimal level under those conditions in which the behavior contributes a threat to physical or social health or in which illness is found.

Terminal Sedation
●"When a suffering patient is sedated to unconsciousness...the patient then dies of dehydration, starvation, or some other intervening complication, as all other life-sustaining interventions are withheld." ●Has been used in situations when patients need relief of pain to the point of unconsciousness.
Deciding for Others
●A surrogate, or proxy, either is chosen by the patient, is court appointed, or has other authority to make decisions ●Three types of surrogate decision makers: - Standard of substituted judgment - Pure autonomy standard - Best interest standard
Physician-Assisted Suicide
●Act of providing a lethal dose of medication for the patient to self-administer ●Oregon Nurses Association special guidelines related to the Death with Dignity Act - Maintaining support, comfort, and confidentiality. - Discussing end-of-life options with patient and family. - Being present for patient's self-administration of medication and death. - Nurses may not administer the medication. - Nurses may not refuse care to the patient or breach confidentiality.
Common Ethical Issues in Nursing and Healthcare
●Allocation of healthcare resources ●Breaches of confidentiality ●Work environment - bullying and violence ●Autonomy and informed consent, PSDA, Advanced directives ●Organ transplantation (procurement and allocation) ●Beginning of life decision making ●Genetic/Genomic testing ●Death and end-of-life
Palliative Care
●Approach that improves the quality of life of patients associated with life-threatening illness, through prevention and relief of suffering ●Do-not-resuscitate order: - There is no medical benefit that can come from cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). - The person has a very poor quality of life before CPR. - The person's life after CPR is anticipated to be very poor.
End-of-Life Decisions and Moral Conflicts with the Nurse
●Communicating truthfully with patients about death due to fear of destroying all hope ●Managing pain symptoms because of fear of hastening death ●Feeling forced to collaborate relative to medical treatments that in the nurses' opinion are futile or too burdensome ●Feeling insecure and not adequately informed about reasons for treatment ●Trying to maintain their own moral integrity
Explain ethical issues related to nurses' relationships with patients, families and colleagues.
●Nurse-physician relationships - Stein (1967) hierarchical relationship - By the 1990s nursing had unilaterally stopped playing the game -Inspired by civil rights, higher education & women's movements ●Nurse-nurse relationships -Workplace bullying, intimidation, harsh criticism, sabotage, and abuse among nurses -Speak up to protect patients from the unethical, incompetent, or impaired practice of another nurse ●Nurse-patient-family relationships -Unavoidable trust-patient needs health care and has no option but to trust nurses and HC professionals -Professional boundaries-limits that protect the space between the nurse's professional power and patient's vulnerabilities; each person in the relationship has a sense of legitimate control -Dignity- a situation in which a person's capabilities can be effectively applied e.g. child, elder, physical/mental impairment -Patient advocacy-identifies patients unmet needs and follows up to address the needs appropriately -Equity, social justice, initiating and supporting actions to meet needs
Rational Suicide
