Faye Glenn Abdellah
The 21 Nursing Problems Theory of Faye Glenn Abdellah is mainly concerned with patient's
needs and the role of nurses in problem identification using a problem analysis approach. As a
future nurse, I will use the 21 nursing problems technique, to assess the patient, make a nursing
diagnosis and plan interventions.
For instances, a patient from a surgery would be put in our unit. The first thing that I will do is to
make her feel comfortable and for her to know that she is in good hands with me. I will make the
room as clean and hygienic as possible, and I will make sure that the patient knows that his/her
privacy is protected whenever she wants to go in the bathroom. Days after the surgery, i will try
to help her practice a 10 minute walk or exercise and make sure that she gets enough sleep or
rest. I will provide the patient food with great nutrients to maintain the body mechanism and to
lessen further complication that he/she might experience due to the operation. I will encourage
the patient to increase the water intake to avoid any urinary tract infection that might cause
discomfort.
Using the 21 Nursing Problems Theory of Faye Glenn Abdellah can provide an appropriate
framework to recognize nursing problems. It will help me in the future to know and perform the
right and effective way to practice care in a patient
VIRGINIA HENDERSON: NURSING NEED THEORY:
The theory focuses on the importance of increasing the patient's independence to hasten their
progress in the hospital. Henderson's theory emphasizes the basic human needs and how nurses
can meet those needs. As a future nurse, I will use this theory to attain patient independence so
that the patient will continue to progress after being released from the hospital.
For instances, a patient who attempted suicide was admitted in my unit.
The theory TRANSCULTURAL NURSING THEORY focused on comparative cultural care (caring) values,
beliefs and practices of individuals or groups of similar or different cultures. As a future nurse, I can use
this theory to practice patient care with people of different culture, race, and ethnicity.
The Theory of Human Caring provides a background for the idea that nursing is not just a practice;
but an attempt to provide care for a patient and bring them to optimal health as an individual. As
a future nurse, to create a caring and healthy environment for patients, and to promote positive
growth
The Deliberative Nursing Process Theory focuses on the interaction between the nurse and patient,
perception validation, and the use of the nursing process to produce positive outcomes or patient
improvement. As a future nurse, I can use this theory to create an effective nursing care plan to meet
the immediate needs of patients.
