“Mrs. Walsh, a woman in her 70s, was in critical condition after
repeat coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery. Her family
lived nearby when Mrs. Walsh had her first CABG surgery.
They had moved out of town but returned to our institution,
where the first surgery had been performed successfully. Mrs.
Walsh remained critically ill and unstable for several weeks
before her death. Her family was very anxious because of Mrs.
Walsh’s unstable and deteriorating condition, and a family
member was always with her 24 hours a day for the first few
weeks.
The nurse became involved with this family while Mrs. Walsh
was still in surgery, because family members were very anxious
that the procedure was taking longer than it had the first time
and made repeated calls to the critical care unit to ask about the
patient. The nurse met with the family and offered to go into the
operating room to talk with the cardiac surgeon to better inform
the family of their mother’s status.
· One of the helpful things the nurse did to assist this family
was to establish a consistent group of nurses to work with Mrs.
Walsh, so that family members could establish trust and feel
more confident about the care their mother was receiving. This
eventually enabled family members to leave the hospital for
intervals to get some rest. The nurse related that this was a
family whose members were affluent, educated, and well
informed, and that they came in prepared with lists of questions.
A consistent group of nurses who were familiar with Mrs.
Walsh’s particular situation helped both family members and
nurses to be more satisfied and less anxious. The family
developed a close relationship with the three nurses who
consistently cared for Mrs. Walsh and shared with them details
about Mrs. Walsh and her life.
· The nurse related that there was a tradition in this particular
critical care unit not to involve family members in care. She
broke that tradition when she responded to the son’s and the
daughter’s helpless feelings by teaching them some simple
things that they could do for their mother. They learned to give
some basic care, such as bathing her. The nurse acknowledged
that involving family members in direct patient care with a
critically ill patient is complex and requires knowledge and
sensitivity. She believes that a developmental process is
involved when nurses learn to work with families.
· She noted that after a nurse has lots of experience and feels
very comfortable with highly technical skills, it becomes okay
for family members to be in the room when care is provided.
She pointed out that direct observation by anxious family
members can be disconcerting to those who are insecure with
their skills when family members ask things like, “Why are you
doing this? Nurse ‘So and So’ does it differently.” She
commented that nurses learn to be flexible and to reset
priorities. They should be able to let some things wait that do
not need to be done right away to give the family some time
with the patient. One of the things that the nurse did to
coordinate care was to meet with the family to see what times
worked best for them; then she posted family time on the
patient’s activity schedule outside her cubicle to communicate
the plan to others involved in Mrs. Walsh’s care.
When Mrs. Walsh died, the son and daughter wanted to
participate in preparing her body. This had never been done in
this unit, but after checking to see that there was no policy
forbidding it, the nurse invited them to participate. They turned
down the lights, closed the doors, and put music on; the nurse,
the patient’s daughter, and the patient’s son all cried together
while they prepared Mrs. Walsh to be taken to the morgue. The
nurse took care of all intravenous lines and tubes while the
children bathed her. The nurse provided evidence of how finely
tuned her skill of involvement was with this family when she
explained that she felt uncomfortable at first because she
thought that the son and daughter should be sharing this time
alone with their mother. Then she realized that they really
wanted her to be there with them. This situation taught her that
families of critically ill patients need care as well. The nurse
explained that this was a paradigm case that motivated her to
move into a CNS role, with expansion of her sphere of influence
from her patients during her shift to other shifts, other patients
and their families, and other disciplines” (Brykczynski, 1998,
pp. 351–359).
Explain how Dorothea Orem's theory can be applied to you
daily nursing profession?

Mrs. Walsh, a woman in her 70s, was in critical condition after.docx

  • 1. “Mrs. Walsh, a woman in her 70s, was in critical condition after repeat coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery. Her family lived nearby when Mrs. Walsh had her first CABG surgery. They had moved out of town but returned to our institution, where the first surgery had been performed successfully. Mrs. Walsh remained critically ill and unstable for several weeks before her death. Her family was very anxious because of Mrs. Walsh’s unstable and deteriorating condition, and a family member was always with her 24 hours a day for the first few weeks. The nurse became involved with this family while Mrs. Walsh was still in surgery, because family members were very anxious that the procedure was taking longer than it had the first time and made repeated calls to the critical care unit to ask about the patient. The nurse met with the family and offered to go into the operating room to talk with the cardiac surgeon to better inform the family of their mother’s status. · One of the helpful things the nurse did to assist this family was to establish a consistent group of nurses to work with Mrs. Walsh, so that family members could establish trust and feel more confident about the care their mother was receiving. This eventually enabled family members to leave the hospital for intervals to get some rest. The nurse related that this was a family whose members were affluent, educated, and well informed, and that they came in prepared with lists of questions. A consistent group of nurses who were familiar with Mrs. Walsh’s particular situation helped both family members and nurses to be more satisfied and less anxious. The family developed a close relationship with the three nurses who consistently cared for Mrs. Walsh and shared with them details about Mrs. Walsh and her life.
  • 2. · The nurse related that there was a tradition in this particular critical care unit not to involve family members in care. She broke that tradition when she responded to the son’s and the daughter’s helpless feelings by teaching them some simple things that they could do for their mother. They learned to give some basic care, such as bathing her. The nurse acknowledged that involving family members in direct patient care with a critically ill patient is complex and requires knowledge and sensitivity. She believes that a developmental process is involved when nurses learn to work with families. · She noted that after a nurse has lots of experience and feels very comfortable with highly technical skills, it becomes okay for family members to be in the room when care is provided. She pointed out that direct observation by anxious family members can be disconcerting to those who are insecure with their skills when family members ask things like, “Why are you doing this? Nurse ‘So and So’ does it differently.” She commented that nurses learn to be flexible and to reset priorities. They should be able to let some things wait that do not need to be done right away to give the family some time with the patient. One of the things that the nurse did to coordinate care was to meet with the family to see what times worked best for them; then she posted family time on the patient’s activity schedule outside her cubicle to communicate the plan to others involved in Mrs. Walsh’s care. When Mrs. Walsh died, the son and daughter wanted to participate in preparing her body. This had never been done in this unit, but after checking to see that there was no policy forbidding it, the nurse invited them to participate. They turned down the lights, closed the doors, and put music on; the nurse, the patient’s daughter, and the patient’s son all cried together while they prepared Mrs. Walsh to be taken to the morgue. The nurse took care of all intravenous lines and tubes while the

The nurse provided evidence of how finely tuned her skill of involvement was with this family when she explained that she felt uncomfortable at first because she thought that the son and daughter should be sharing this time alone with their mother. Then she realized that they really wanted her to be there with them. This situation taught her that families of critically ill patients need care as well. The nurse explained that this was a paradigm case that motivated her to move into a CNS role, with expansion of her sphere of influence from her patients during her shift to other shifts, other patients and their families, and other disciplines” (Brykczynski, 1998, pp. 351–359).
