Virginia Henderson/Neonatal Application
[ send me this essay ]
A 5 page essay that, first of all, addresses the parameters of the theoretical perspective on nursing that was developed by Virginia Henderson. The basic assumptions and major points of Henderson's theory are summarized, which includes briefly addressing how she perceives the four meta-paradigms of nursing (i.e., person, environment health and nursing). Then, a clinical application of this nursing theory is discussed. Specifically, the research conducted by Ahmed (2008), which describes a successful educational intervention that was undertaken with the mothers of pre-term infants in regards to breastfeeding, is described and then discussed in terms of Henderson's theory. This discussion demonstrates the utility and versatility of Henderson's theoretical perspective and why this theory is highly applicable to neonatal nursing.

Walker And Avant: NonAdherence
[ send me this essay ]
8 pages in length. Whereas the definition of nonadherence in the nursing sense is both clear and comprehensible, its inability to allow for unified, tangible interpretation establishes it as an ambiguous concept. Walker and Avant's approach to resolving this ambiguity resides within a defined process of first revealing and then addressing the issue at hand in such a way as to reach the true reason for nonadherence. In children and adolescents, nonadherence may have to do with physically compromising side effects caused by prescribed medications; for the elderly, the alteration of set routines, physical limitations, incomplete explanations and a lesser degree of understanding consequences can cause them to either reject or forget their daily drug regimen. Bibliography lists 16 sources.
