Discussion Question #3
Johnson viewed health as efficient and effective functioning of the
system, and as behavioral system balance and stability. Behavioral system
balance and stability are demonstrated by observed behavior that is purposeful,
orderly, and predictable. Consider a clinical-practice situation that
demonstrates Johnson’s model of health. How can the nurse support this theory
to return the patient to balance and stability?

Discussion Question #4
Consider what was happening in nursing in the late 1970’s and early
1980’s with the change from diploma programs to an associate degree program.
Martha Rogers believed that nursing is a separate and essential discipline and
a unique field of study. She worked hard to establish nursing in higher
education. Explain the importance of this shift and how it impacted nursing as
a profession.

Discussion Question #5
Neuman Systems Models is a flexible and adaptive model which can be
applied to various aspects of nursing disciplines. Today, the model is used
globally as a nursing conceptual model to guide curriculum development,
research studies, and clinical practice in the full array of health-care
disciplines.
Define a nursing practice area where you could apply Neuman Systems
Model. What patient population would you target? How would you use this model
to guide best practices? How would nursing outcomes be determined? Use at least
one current research article related to your practice example.

Discussion Question #6
Newman pointed out that, “nurse client relationships often begin during
periods of disruption, uncertainty, and unpredictability in patient’s lives”
(Smith & Parker, 2015, p. 288). Explore what she means by this statement.
Then, reflect on a patient that you cared for that you could apply her theory
to. Provide details of the interaction and outcomes.

Discussion Question #7
“Nursing should not ‘borrow’ theories from other disciplines.” Refute
this statement by providing specific examples from your current nursing
practice. Describe the importance of increased nursing collaboration with other
disciplines.

Discussion Question #8
Consider your learning in the course. How have you met the course
