Problem
1. Your nursing class is debating the issue of the usefulness of grand theories in current practice. Make a case for the applicability of grand theories in modern nursing and describe how nurses can use the original nursing theory-Nightingale's environmental theory-in the following settings:
a. Critical Care Unit
b. Emergency Department (ED)
c. Home Health.
2. You are providing care to a patient with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) who has been readmitted 3 times within the past month for difficulty breathing. Explain how you would apply Peplau's interpersonal theory to help this patient prevent complications and promote self-management of his disease.
3. For the same patient described previously, how would you apply Orem's self-care deficit theory to help the patient? Compare and contrast the use of Peplau's and Orem's theories for this patient.
