A pregnant woman complains, "i have had morning sickness for one week, which caused me to eat less. i am experiencing irritabili
ty because of weakness." the nurse taught the client relaxation and distraction techniques to overcome this problem. during a follow-up visit, the nurse evaluates the client's response and determines if the condition is resolved. which model is the nurse using in this situation?
To understand this answer we need to analyze the context, first of all, we have one orientation. The nurse is analyzing all the conditions and the patient`s symptoms. First, she identifies "Irritability" in the patient. Second, she identifies weaknesses caused by irritability. She then remembered that the Neuman system it's based on the resistance of the subject, the patient's organ reactions, and the symptoms. She then understands this could be a case of stress, tension or anxiety. So, she first taught the woman some relaxation exercises. After she knew they were effective she told her to keep practicing them. If she wouldn't have noticed a change she would have proceeded to a deeper check-up.
