Essay / Research Paper Abstract
A 5 page paper applying Callista Roy’s adaptation model of nursing to a specific case. The patient is a 35-year-old man facing the healing of a leg broken in an auto accident. He is a single father with weekend visits with his children. He is insured and so has few if any financial concerns resulting from his accident, but he will need to adapt to changes that will persist for several weeks as his leg heals. Roy’s model applies in that it can assist with the adaptations that the patient will need to make. Bibliography lists 3 sources.

educate, comfort and offer explanations to their patients. Sr. Roy is credited with bringing new enlightenment to nursing, and her model of nursing is highly valued.
A quality of nursing theory is that no one theory is applicable to all situations at all times. As example, Dorothy Orems self care model
is highly useful with the elderly and those recovering from surgery or illness. Self care is not an issue that enters into acute or intensive care, however. The
aftereffects and changes that the patient may need to make following these conditions certainly qualify (Bryant, Corbett and Kutner, 2002), but self care is not an issue on the day
that a middle-aged man is having an endoscopy, an elderly woman comes in for a "bladder tack" or a young mother arrives for a tubal ligation. All care is
the responsibility of the medical team with which these patients have surrounded themselves. It is the patients responsibility to cooperate and do everything s/he is told to do, and
it is the responsibility of the nurse to provide all care at that time. Roys Adaptation Model Roys adaptation model describes the progress
through which patients move in adapting to changing physical conditions (The Roy Adaptation Model). This too is quite useful with the elderly, whose bodies change more rapidly than at
