Discussion post 5

Select TWO of the following questions to answer. Restate the questions you selected in the discussion forum and answer each separately.

Question: Leininger’s Culture Care Theory presents three culture care modes of decisions or actions. Describe what is meant by culture care preservation and/or maintenance; culture care accommodation and/or negotiation, and culture care restructuring and /or repatterning. Provide a practice exemplar relative to a patient’s culture and each of the three Culture Care modes.

Question: Watson’s Theory of Human Caring seeks to balance the cure of medicine with human caring as essential to health and healing, revealing nursing’s unique disciplinary, scientific, philosophical, ethical and professional perspective and contributions (Watson, 2020 in Smith 2020). Watson believes that nursing is a lifetime journey of caring and healing. When we include love and caring in our life and work as nurses, nursing becomes a life-giving and life-receiving career of growth and learning (Watson, 2020). Discuss Watson’s 10 Caritas Processes and for each process explain how you will incorporate it into your nursing practice.

Question: Based on Meleis’ Transition Theory, discuss transition triggers, properties of transitions, conditions of change and transitions and patterns of responses.  Develop one practice exemplar of a transition experienced by a patient and identify the triggers, properties, conditions, and patterns of the transition.  With this knowledge, what nursing interventions would offer to facilitate a healthy transition process and healthy outcome behaviors?
