Discussion: Nurse-patient relationship

Discussion: Nurse-patient relationship

Part one: Peplau was the first nursing theorist to identify the nurse–patient relationship as being central to all nursing care. Peplau valued knowledge, believing that the nurse must possess extensive knowledge about the potential problems that emerge during a nurse–patient interaction. Peplau’s theoretical work on the nurse–patient relationship continues to be essential to nursing practice.

Create a PowerPoint presentation describing the phases of the Nurse-Patient relationship as defined by Peplau. Align your presentation with a current nursing practice example.

Part two: Provide a discussion of Orem’s Self-Care Deficit Theory. What are the three related parts? Identify a current nursing practice example where Orem’s theory would be relevant. Use at least one evidenced-based research article to support your practice example.

Power Point should include at least 3 outside references and the textbook. It should include title and reference slides and be 14-20 slides.

READ BASIC INSTRUCTIONS-

BASIC INSTRUCTIONS-

· Do not write a paper in the PPT – clean, organized and easy to read bullets/graphs/diagrams should be used to get the message across

· Enticing background color is welcomed as well as minimal transitions and pictures to add to the message

· Title slide with title, your name and school listed

· Every slide has a heading of no more than 3-4 words

· No more than 7-8 bullets or points on a slide

· Citations are on EACH slide posted in the lower right corner as (author, year) – the exception is if you use a quote or have more than bullets for the message – than use the citation within the sentence/message – but using quotes and full sentences is completely avoided if at all possible for class PPTs!

· Reference slide compiling ALL references as the last slide in APA format; bulleted or “hanging”

You must proofread your paper. But do not strictly rely on your computer’s spell-checker and grammar-checker; failure to do so indicates a lack of effort on your part and you can expect your grade to suffer accordingly. Papers with numerous misspelled words and grammatical mistakes will be penalized. Read over your paper – in silence and then aloud – before handing it in and make corrections as necessary. Often it is advantageous to have a friend proofread your paper for obvious errors. Handwritten corrections are preferable to uncorrected mistakes.

Use a standard 10 to 12 point (10 to 12 characters per inch) typeface. Smaller or compressed type and papers with small margins or single-spacing are hard to read. It is better to let your essay run over the recommended number of pages than to try to compress it into fewer pages.

Likewise, large type, large margins, large indentations, triple-spacing, increased leading (space between lines), increased kerning (space between letters), and any other such attempts at “padding” to increase the length of a paper are unacceptable, wasteful of trees, and will not fool your professor.

The paper must be neatly formatted, double-spaced with a one-inch margin on the top, bottom, and sides of each page. When submitting hard copy, be sure to use white paper and print out using dark ink. If it is hard to read your essay, it will also be hard to follow your argument.
