Sister Callista Roys Adaptation Model DQ 5
Sister Callista Roy’s Adaptation model explains both individuals and groups as holistic systems, with coping systems used to maintain adaptation. Unfortunately when illness occurs it affects the patients adaptation and coping mechanisms and may affect family units as well. The four ways of categorizing coping activity is called Adaptive modes. There are four modes: Physiological/physical, self concept-group identity, role function and interdependence mode.
The Physiological mode is made up of basic human needs such as nutrition, oxygenation, elimination and rest. Within the hospital setting this is priority to keep the patient hemodynamically stable. The Self concept or group identity entails self esteem, appearance and feelings of self worth. As nurses we must encourage, build up and be a positive resource for our patient. Role function mode is patient feelings of obligation to fulfill their role of their household. The patient may worry about responsibilities such as work, finances, children, spouses and any other obligations they usually are responsible for. As nurses we may assist with phone calls, involving social work and assisting the patient to make accomodations. The last mode which is interdependence mode entails the love and care the patient receives from the most important people in their lives. Nurses can encourage family member to visit as well as bring outside food that nourishes the patient according to their diet, and bringing keepsakes that are meaningful to the patient.
Case Study:
According to Roys Adaptation Model The Assessment will begin with assessing physical, behavioral as well as stimuli the patient is experiencing. The patients history of mental illness in addition to lack of a support system is an influential concern that must be addressed. Assessment of patients response and coping methods is necessary. The Nursing Diagnosis could be Risk for self harm as evidenced by history of mental health issues and new onset of trauma related to recent motor vehicle accident causing impaired mobility. Planning must include the rehabilitation living center and the details of length of stay, services and treatment. Discussing reconciliation with family members as an option for added support. Intervention entails staying on his mental heath regimen according to Dr.s orders as well as Physical and or occupational therapy for the new injury. Accomodations made through social work to coordinate equipment needed to assist in disability.

You must proofread your paper. But do not strictly rely on your computer’s spell-checker and grammar-checker; failure to do so indicates a lack of effort on your part and you can expect your grade to suffer accordingly. Papers with numerous misspelled words and grammatical mistakes will be penalized. Read over your paper – in silence and then aloud – before handing it in and make corrections as necessary. Often it is advantageous to have a friend proofread your paper for obvious errors. Handwritten corrections are preferable to uncorrected mistakes.
Use a standard 10 to 12 point (10 to 12 characters per inch) typeface. Smaller or compressed type and papers with small margins or single-spacing are hard to read. It is better to let your essay run over the recommended number of pages than to try to compress it into fewer pages.
Likewise, large type, large margins, large indentations, triple-spacing, increased leading (space between lines), increased kerning (space between letters), and any other such attempts at “padding” to increase the length of a paper are unacceptable, wasteful of trees, and will not fool your professor.
The paper must be neatly formatted, double-spaced with a one-inch margin on the top, bottom, and sides of each page. When submitting hard copy, be sure to use white paper and print out using dark ink. If it is hard to read your essay, it will also be hard to follow your argument.
