Part one: Peplau was the first nursing theorist to identify the nurse-patient relationship as central to all nursing care. Peplau valued knowledge, believing that the nurse must possess extensive knowledge about the potential problems that emerge during a nurse-patient interaction. Peplau’s theoretical work on the nurse-patient relationship continues to be essential to nursing practice.
Describe the phases of the Nurse-Patient relationship as defined by Peplau. Align your presentation regarding using Peplau’s theory with a current nursing practice example.
Part two: Provide a discussion of Orem’s Self-Care Deficit Theory. Identify and explain the three related parts. Identify a current nursing practice example where Orem’s theory would be relevant. Use at least one evidence-based research article to support your practice example.
