- Your hospital patient is an 82 year-old woman. She does not have immediate family and has been living alone in her own home. Her hospitalization was unanticipated; it followed a visit to the emergency room for a burn on her lower leg. The patient has been hospitalized for 14 days. She pleads with you to allow her friend to bring her dog, a 16-year-old Scotty Terrier, to the hospital. She tells you that none of the other nurses have listened to her when she asked them about such a visit. Based on Nightingale’s model, and 13 cannon, what actions would you take for this patient?

Betty Neuman |
- Martina is a middle-aged Hispanic woman who brings her family to a local free clinic to obtain medical care. She works part time in a restaurant for minimum wage. She lives in a small apartment with her daughter and four preschool children; her daughter speaks only very broken English. Martina’s medical diagnoses are hypertension, arthritis, and depression.
Use the Neuman System Model as a conceptual framework to respond to the following:
-
- Describe the family as a system.
- How does the dominant Anglo culture impact on the family’s stability as a system?
- What stressors (actual and potential) threaten the family?
- What additional assessment data are needed related to Martina’s medical diagnoses?
- What additional assessment data are needed related to the family’s health status?
- How will cultural differences influence planning for prevention as intervention at primary, secondary, and tertiary levels?
