Question

Swanson's Theory of Caring describes nurse-client relationships that

promote wholeness and healing. The theory offers a framework for enhancing

contemporary nursing practice, education, and research while bringing the

discipline to its traditional values and caring-healing roots. Swanson's Theory of

Caring has been applied to interdisciplinary caring relationships beyond nurseclient encounters.

CASE STUDY

1. The birth of a child is one of the most memorable experiences in a woman's

life. You are a birth unit nurse, and at the change of a shift you are assigned to

care for a teen mother who came to hospital alone and is now in active labor.

When you arrive in her room, you notice that she is teary and appears frightened.

Describe how you would apply Swanson's theory to connect emotionally and

deliver caring in your practice with this young mother.

2. A 56 year old obese man presents in the outpatient clinic. He is experiencing

polydipsia and polyuria for over a week. He also reports a weight loss of 5 kg in

the past few weeks. He delayed his clinic visit for as long as possible because he

feared he may have diabetes like his father and was afraid to face the reality. You

check his sugar level and it is 430. The man bursts into tears. Describe how you

would apply Swanson's theory to help the client face the diagnosis of chronic

disease, cope with the disease process, and promote well-being?
