what does the logical development of nursing models allow?
adaption to meet specific patient requirements within the care plan
31
give the 5 main reasons to use a nursing model
consistency of care less conflict between nurses over care required incorporates care given by other members of the team gives direction to nursing care guides decision making
32
what are the 3 main models of nursing care?
Orem's self-care model of nursing Roper, Logan and Tierney (RLT) model of nursing The Ability Model
33
who designed the Ability Model?
Orpet and Jeffery
34
when was Orem's model first published?
1971
35
what is the key element of Orem's model?
self-care
36
who does Orem believe should be responsible for patient care?
the patient and their immediate family (owner in veterinary medicine)
37
according to Orem when should the nurse/practitioner become involved in patient care?
when the patients ability to to achieve the 8 needs is compromised
38
how did Orem believe an individual meets their self care needs?
through learning rather than instinctively - menaing they could learn how to address their 8 needs
39
what are the issues with Orem's model for veterinary practice?
more intervention is often needed - from owner or nurse | teaching is more complex/difficult
40
what are the 8 universal self care needs according to Orem?
``` sufficient intake of air sufficient intake of water sufficient intake of food satisfactory eliminative functions activity balanced with rest balance between solitude and social interaction prevention of hazards to life, species functioning and wellbeing normalcy ```
41
what does planning/implementation in Orem's model focus on?
how the patient can achieve universal care needs with the nurse involved only when essential
42
what does the evaluation in Orem's model focus on?
ability of patient or family to perform self care improving
43
how does Orem view the nursing process?
fluid with the nursing history (assessment) as a continuing process as more information about the patient is learned
