Week 2 Case study
Mr. Duran is seen to be in a very stressful situation, which calls for urgent action to save his life. This is presented by the fact that he is diabetic and his only daughter, who has been united the family following her knowledge in speaking English, is murders. He is seen to be confused and befuddled by this and affects his intention of improving his health.
From this case study, we can apply two theories to create a stable environment and help Mr. Duran to restore his normal life without stress and free of diseases. The first theory we can relate to is the human need theory, which states that alteration of the human desire to achieve his need results in a conflict (Model, 2019). This is clear as Mr. Duran is now in unstable condition following all happenings.
Another theory or concept that can be applied to explain this situation’s case and treatment are Neuman and Orem’s idea. Orem’s concept involves patient self-care, self-care deficit, and the whole nursing system (Alice, 2020). it focuses on what individuals should do to improve their health, identifying their stressors, which can be integrated into the nursing system to produce better results.
On the other hand, Neuman’s concept looks into this case deeply by outlining the factor that can help address Mr. Duran’s case. For instance, it considers internal factor which affects him, his normal condition, and deviation from this normalcy (Alice, 2020). Therefore, Orem and Neuman, the concept can be used perfectly to explain this case.
I can compare Mr. Duran’s case with another I handled where the patient was suffering from diabetes and had other complications. Moreover, that patient had hypertension and been an elderly person who was left alone he was full of stress. I used the concept given by Orem and Neuman, and finally, the patient was able to recover. Therefore, when used effectively, this theory is very efficient.
