Roper, Logan & Tierney Model

Introduction

This paper is about a case study of Mr. Henry Smith, who, according the case has sustained injuries due to fall. He fell in the bathroom and sustained injuries on elbow and thighs. In this paper, we have to use Roper, Logan & Tierney Model of nursing to address the issues related to the injury.

This paper is divided into two parts. The first part elaborates on the injury due to fall and the second part considers the interventions based on Roper, Logan & Tierney Model.

Part 1: Collating the Data

Falling out is conceptualized as a dissociative reaction that is associated with constricted consciousness and designed to cope with anxiety (as is the case with Mr. Smith). The most common descriptions note a sudden collapse or fainting spell that may be preceded by dizziness or “swimming in the head.”

The syndrome may occur with or without warning. Individuals who report falling out indicate an awareness of their surroundings, although some report an inability to move (Dyson, 2006). Some individuals claim they are unable to see, although their eyes are open and there is no indication of physical impairment. An analysis of emergency services data from Miami suggests that the syndrome is not the result of chronic organic illness (it can be differentiated from illnesses such as epilepsy) but a psychological reaction to specific stressor (Dyson, 2006)s.

Part 2: Nursing Process and Intervention

I visited Mr. Henry Smith a couple of times just before he was admitted to the hospital wih a serious condition. Seeing his condition, I decided to use the

It has long been a feature of nursing care in the UK and when used in conjunction with a nursing model it facilitates consistent, evidenced-based nursing care, and necessitates accurate, up-to-date care documentation. The nursing process consists of four distinct phases, each having a discreet role in the process, whilst also being interdependent upon each other. The phases of the process are:

Assess

In this phase the nurse makes an assessment of the patient (such as Mr. Smith in this case)/client as soon as possible following admission to hospital or first encounter in the community. Biographical details e.g. name, date of birth, age, address are noted and observations of blood pressure, pulse and respiration are taken (Roper, Logan, Tierney, 1983).

Plan

This phase of the nursing process extends from the assessment and in conjunction with the patient (such ...
