re jean watson caritas

[inaya]

can somebody help.

how can i apply 2 jean watson's caritas in this situation.

Mrs. Karry is 55 year old white woman who had her total knee replacement 2 days ago.

She also had a total hip replacement 3 year ago. She had a hard time with last surgery, as

incision took a long time to heal properly. Both of her surgeries were due to the result of

Rhematoid arthritis. She had deformities in her hand and foot due to Rheumatoid arthritis. Mrs.

Karry has a history of hypertension, diabetes on metmorphin and remote smoking history. She had been diabetic for several years; however she had limited knowledge and understanding of diabetes. She is doing well with her current knee surgery, but she is worried about the incision and shows her concern that it might also take a long to heal. Due to this reason she is unable to cooperate with the physiotherapist with fear that more movement might delay wound healing. She stopped her education after grade 10. She had two daughters settled in U.S and one son who moved out after marriage. She is very attached to her grandson and wanted to visit him on his 6th birthday. She is living with her husband who is doing full time 12 hour shift job. According to Mrs. Karry, her husband is supportive but sometimes gets frustrated when she is not able to do simple households chores during flare-ups of her Rheumatoid arthritis. She gets tearful and said he no longer loves her anymore. She expresses great concern over healing of her incision wound and is worried about her care at home. She believes that due to her deformities people do not respect her anymore and she no longer has social recognition and usefulness.

thanks

Sounds like an essay question to me.

Why don't you start by sharing your ideas with us. That will give people something to comment upon. As a general rule, most people don't like doing 100% of a student's homework (or essay test question) for them. But you may get some assistance if you are willing to do at least some of the work yourself and sharing that with us.

Um, to add to the previous post, there are a lot of nursing instructors who hang out here so it's not a good idea to ask for too much input in doing one's homework.

I'm just sayin'...
