Nursing 2 - Pender’s model, first defined by Nola J.

Nursing 2 Assignments - Discussions

Pender’s model, first defined by Nola J. Pender, frames good health not as the absence of disease but as a positive state of physical being. Therefore, promoting health encompasses increasing this state of well-being. Pender’s model emphasizes the patient’s interaction with a multifaceted environment as a core determinant of well-being.

In this discussion, you will consider how Pender’s model could have affected a patient situation you have faced in the past.

Identify a potential health management problem you anticipate encountering in your future APRN Practice and share that with your peers. 

1. Describe a potential health promotion issue that you expect to encounter in your specific patient population as an APRN. What is the specific problem and why is it a barrier to health promotion?

2. Focusing on the assumption of Healthcare Professionals (APRNs) being part of the interpersonal environment and exerting influence on patients through the lifespan, choose 3/14 theoretical statements and discuss 1–2 interventions for each theoretical statement you could use to help decrease the patient’s barrier to being in a state of health. (If your patient population is neonates, children with special needs, or adults with cognitive disabilities/issues, then focus on the family caregivers).
