Assignment:
Your assignment this week will be an APA paper to in" rel="nofollow">include title page, in" rel="nofollow">introduction, level subheadin" rel="nofollow">ings, conclusion, and a reference page.
First part: Case Study and questions
1. Case Study
The hospice nurse sat with Ann's husband, Ben. Ann was restin" rel="nofollow">ing quietly as the in" rel="nofollow">increased dosage of IV pain" rel="nofollow">in medication gradually reached its therapeutic level. Ben turned his head and slowly turned, lookin" rel="nofollow">ing out the room's only win" rel="nofollow">indow. As he glanced up, a small flicker of light caught his breath. It was a shootin" rel="nofollow">ing star. A tear fell from the corner of his eye and he turned to Ann. The nurse sensed that somethin" rel="nofollow">ing significant to Ann and Ben was unfoldin" rel="nofollow">ing. Shufflin" rel="nofollow">ing to Ann's bedside, he took her small fragile hand in" rel="nofollow">in his. These hands had rocked cradles, burped babies, and groomed the horses she loved to ride. Gently holdin" rel="nofollow">ing her hand, he turned to the nurse. "She would ride like the win" rel="nofollow">ind was chasin" rel="nofollow">ing her." Lookin" rel="nofollow">ing back to Ann his voice broke; chokin" rel="nofollow">ing back tears "Ann, Ann I saw Jessie…Jessie is callin" rel="nofollow">ing." Ben turned "Jessie was our daughter. She died havin" rel="nofollow">ing a baby that was too big. When she died it was a pitch-black night. Cold, so cold, the baby died too, a little boy, named him Abe, Jr. after Jessie's husband. I took Ann outside so she could cry to God above and there in" rel="nofollow">in this dark sky we saw two fallin" rel="nofollow">ing stars…together…just fallin" rel="nofollow">ing. We knew it had to be Jessie and Abe…two angels to light up the night." Ben turned back as a deep sigh escaped from Ann's lips. A soft smile remain" rel="nofollow">ined as she join" rel="nofollow">ined Jessie and Abe.
o Based on this case study how would the nurse actualize Parse's theory of Human Becomin" rel="nofollow">ing?
o How might Parse's understandin" rel="nofollow">ing of transcendence guide the nurse, as Ann's death became a reality to Ben?
o What would be the focus of the nurse as Ann's body was transitioned to the mortuary?
o From the nursin" rel="nofollow">ing theories we have discussed, what theory would you apply to this case study? Develop a plan of care to in" rel="nofollow">include both nursin" rel="nofollow">ing theories (be specific and provide reasons)
Second part:
2. Thin" rel="nofollow">ink about one of the theories we have studied. Select one theorist and describe her contribution to the advancement of knowledge in" rel="nofollow">in support of multidisciplin" rel="nofollow">inary science/ teams. Conduct a literature search and explain" rel="nofollow">in how the theory has been used to enhance multidisciplin" rel="nofollow">inary teams.
