The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate your ability to plan care through a nursing model. After you have chosen a nursing model (from section III or IV of the textbook), provide a thorough descriiption of the “nuts and bolts” and major concepts of that model. Then you should select a client that you are caring for at your clinical site (or an interesting acquaintance). Describe all the steps of the nursing process (assessment [should be detailed], planning, nursing diagnoses (3), implementation, and evaluation) as they are done when following the model. Do not include care that is not directed by the model. The last part of the paper is a thorough critique of the model and its usefulness (or not) in directing care for this client. The paper should not exceed 12 pages (including title and reference page). It is acceptable to use single-spacing for the plan of care. Double spacing should be used for the remainder of the paper. You should have at least 2 references. You must include a title and reference page.
