Modeling

one of the major concepts, the process the nurse uses as they develop an image and an understanding of their client’s world; the art of modeling is the development of a mirror image of the situation from the client’s perspective; the science of modeling is the aggregation and analysis of data collected about the client’s model

Role-Modeling 

one of the major concepts, occurs when the nurse plans and implements interventions that are unique for the client'; starts the second the nurse moves from the analysis phase of the nursing process to planning of nursing interventions.

Nursing

-the facilitator, not an effector; client relationship is an interactive, interpersonal process.

Five aims of nursing

-Affirm and promote client strength

-Promote positive orientation

-Facilitate perceived control

-Set health-directed mutual goals
-Build trust

Person

There are two types; Patient and Client 

Patient

is given treatment and instructions

Client

participates in their own core

Health

State of physical, mental, and social well-being, not merely the absence of disease and infirmity

Environment

Not identified in the theory as an entity of its own; social subsystems as the interaction between self and others both cultural and individual; biophysical stressors are seen as part of the environment
