After you have completed this week’s reading assignment in McEwen and Wills (2019) related to grand nursing theories and models, read the Jenny O’Connell, APN, Case Study, and respond to the following discussion questions:
- Select the nursing model/theory from this week’s reading on the three categories of grand theories (human needs theories, interactive theories, and unitary theories) that you believe will be the most helpful to Jenny in assessing Mr. Duran and planning for his care. Discuss why you selected that particular theory or model.
- Based on the model selected, what additional information would Jenny want to collect/assess?
- Based on the model selected, how would Jenny initiate a plan of care (education) for Mr. Duran?
- Do you think that Jenny would assess and plan differently for Mr. Duran’s care if she used a different grand theory or model (from another category of grand nursing theories) for Mr. Duran? Please identify the other grand nursing theory or model you considered from another category of grand nursing theories, and discuss why or why not Jenny would assess and plan differently for Mr. Duran’s care using the other grand nursing theory or model you considered.
