MIDDLE RANGE NURSING THEORIES
1.The birth of a child is one of the most memorable
experiences in a woman’s life. You are a birth unit nurse, and at
the change of a shift you are assigned to care for a teen mother
who came to hospital alone and is now in active labor. When you
arrive in her room, you notice that she is teary and appears
frightened. Describe how you would apply Swanson’ s theory to
connect emotionally and deliver caring in your practice with this
young mother. (NOTE: USE SWANSON'S THEORY OF CARING)
2. An elderly Arab-American Muslim man who spoke little
English was admitted to the hospital for increasing pain in his
left foot while at rest. His foot was cool and pale, and he had a
history of vascular surgical procedures. He had many chronic health
problems, including type 2 diabetes, hypertension, and chronic
obstructive pulmonary disease. He also had had a myocardial
infarction and several cerebral vascular accidents. While in the
hospital, he developed abdominal pain and underwent a
cholecystectomy. This elderly grandfather had a large family,
including a wife, nine children, and many grandchildren. His wife
insisted that all family members visit him every day while he was
in the hospital. The family wanted the man’s face turned toward
Mecca (toward the East) while they prayed with him. They brought
tape-recorded passages from the Koran, which they played at his
bedside. Other families who were visiting their sick relatives
complained to the nurses that the Arab family was taking up the
entire waiting room, and there was no place for anyone else to
sit.
As a nurse, how might you use the three modes from the Theory
of Culture Care Diversity and Universality to provide culturally
congruent care for this elderly man and his family, as well as for
the other clients and their families in the critical care unit?
(NOTE: RELATE TO THEORY OF CULTURE CARED DIVERSITY AND
UNIVERALITY)
