Create a Power Point Presentation to discuss the following

Sgt. Eddie Johns leaned back against the chair in the outpatient orthopedic clinic. His head was killing him! He wasn’t sure which was worse, the “morning after” headache or not being able to sleep at night. At least when he had a few beers under his belt so he could catch a few hours of sleep. It had been like this since he was air evacuated back stateside from Afghanistan after the roadside bomb went off. He was thankful that he had only broken his leg in a couple of places and gotten a bad bump on the head. They called that traumatic brain injury but he didn’t know what that was and really didn’t believe them anyway. He was still thinking just fine. His friend Joe wasn’t so lucky! How was Joe going to learn to walk on those artificial legs? He was still in the hospital in Washington, DC. That was pretty far from his home. Eddie wished he could visit Joe. They had been in the same platoon for 9 months. But, Eddie was glad that he had been able to come back to his own home town for outpatient treatment. It took an hour to get here but at least he could see his girl almost every day. Sure he had moved back in with his mom but it was easier to have someone to help him get around and cook for him. It was a bummer that he couldn’t work right now. He guessed it didn’t matter much since he really didn’t have a job to go back to. He had been replaced at the plant. They said they would find something for him to do once he could get around more easily. Eddie sure hoped the doc would take the pins out of his leg today and give him a clearance to work.

How would the use of the Roy Adaptation Model assist the nurse in planning the continuation of care for Sgt. Johns?
Describe the influence of Roy's Theory in guiding the nurse's actions in promoting Sgt. Johns adjusted self-concept.
From the perspective of the Roy Adaptation Model, why is it important for the nurse to listen to Sgt. Johns' "story" in his own words and not just base her interactions on information from the chart, fellow colleagues, or his family?
Based on Neuman System’s Model, identify at least 4 stressors from the case study. Create a plan of care based on Neuman Systems Model for Sgt. Johns. 

Your PowerPoint should include at least 1 outside reference and your book. The presentation should be 10 to 15 slides in length.

Wars and Nightingale

New Fields and Technology

Research and Respect

Past

 Earliest nurses were often a response to wars and the need for medical care for injured soldiers.  These women were patriotic but not truly educated as nurses and often caused more damage than good related to their lack of basic healthcare knowledge (Keating & DeBoor, 2018).  Florence Nightingale was a proponent of nursing education from her own experiences during the Crimean War (Davida, 2012).  She influenced some of the first nursing schools with her idea that the education should stand alone and not be associated with an apprenticeship with the teaching hospital (Keating & DeBoor, 2018).

Present

 Nurses of today specialize in all sorts of fields from the operating room to pediatrics to hospice to just name a few.  This specialization has made the nurse workforce incredibly diverse and nursing educators and programs have had to respond accordingly.  Economically, nursing schools have become expensive programs and often difficult to staff as experienced nurse educators retire (Keating & DeBoor, 2018).  Immense changes in technology from how a nurse charts to how IVFs are given have dramatically changed how nurses do their work and how they are educated.

Future

 Higher education for nurses will continue to evolve with an emphasis on nursing research as well as life-long learning (Laureate, 2012c).  The need for evidence-based nursing research will influence healthcare to the extent that the solutions garnered from nursing investigation will be on the same par as medical studies done by providers.  This increased respect for nursing could lead to increased interest in nursing as a career and in nursing education overall.

Review the links provided below to learn more about Dr. Meleis’ Transitions Theory. Reflect on the many challenges patients face in today’s complex health care system, ranging from lack of access to necessary preventative services, lack of education regarding disease management to much needed medication for tertiary care. Analyze what are the various roles that family nurse practitioners can and/or must play to facilitate change for patients and communities before, during and at the completion of transition?

Thank you for your initial discussion post. It stimulated my thinking, so thank you for that. Specifically on release of information waivers from patients and I remembered reading in the class cafe that you are from Miami and work in a psychiatric facility. While working in transplant I would, with consent of the patient, have access to their electronic medical record at other hospitals. However, one of the records we were not permitted to enter was the psychiatric evaluation due to the sensitivity of the information contained in those records. What are your thoughts on mental health researchers using the confidential records of mental health patients to further evidenced based practices? I have provided a link for you if you would like to refer to an article.
