A. OREM’S THEORY & APPLICATION TO THE CLINICAL SETTING

Many people select nursing as a career because they enjoy “taking care of” other people. Orem’s conceptual model of nursing focuses on individuals with limited abilities to provide continuing self-care or care of dependent others. As nurses we encounter clients on a daily basis with limited ability to care for themselves.

For this discussion forum, reflect on a client that you have encountered in the clinical setting and apply “Orem’s” conceptual model to the care provided. Describe the difference between “taking care of people” as a general term and professional nursing practice directed toward helping people meet their own and their dependent others’ therapeutic self-care demands. Use “Orem’s” conceptual as a basis for your response.

C. EVIDENCED BASED PRACTICE SUMMARY

Evidenced based practice (EBP) is an approach to healthcare that utilizes the most current research available in order to improve the health and safety of patients while reducing overall costs and variation in health outcomes (Journal of Nursing Administration, 2020). EBP is a problem-solving approach to the delivery of health care that integrates best evidence from studies and patient care data with clinician expertise and patient preferences and values (Melnyk, Fineout-Overhold,Stillwell, & Williamson, 2010).
