what is biomedical model
traditionally utilised by doctors and veterinarians. The
focus is on the patient seen as a collection of anatomical parts and physiological systems.
The patient defined by their illness rather than a person/animal with psychosocial needs that are affected by their environment.
When nurses started to realise their role in patient care, they became disenchanted with the medical model, recognising that patients were individuals and would react differently to disease processes
Student vets and doctors are taught how to assess their patient using the SOAP structure.
what is soap assessment
subjective
objective
assessment made from data gained
plan care
what is subjective
The presenting complaint, purpose of the visit to the practice (lame, bite wound etc.)
objective
Vital signs, clinical examination, lab results…
assessment made from data gained
Medical diagnosis or differentials (what it might be)
plan care
Treatment, care, further investigation (radiographs etc.)
Under the Animal Welfare Act 2006, Owners and keepers of animals are responsible to ensure the following FIVE needs are met;
-for a suitable environment (place to live)
• for a suitable diet
• to exhibit normal behaviour patterns
• to be housed with, or apart from, other animals (if applicable)
• to be protected from pain, injury, suffering and disease
what is a model of care
model is smth that is a more simplistic way to represent reality. A model of nursing care is structured format of providing more standardised nursing care
model of care - systematic, based on evidence , related to concepts theories and values
all modes are based on beliefs and values related to
a)The individual
b) Health
c) Environment
d) Nursing
nursing process is
systematic approach to caring for our patients
provide a structure to follow
Roper, Logan & Tierney’s (RLT)
model is based on the 12 activities of living – The patient is assessed against the 12activities; the nurse decides through the assessment whether the patient can independently carry out the activity or whether nursing care is required.
The assessment of the 12 activities mostly
relates to assessment of veterinary patient needs
Orem’s Model of Self Care
can also be adapted to a certain extent for veterinary
patients. The model focuses on the assessment of the patient’s ability to self-care. There are 8 ‘self-care requisites’ – what
can the patient do for themselves, and what do they need help with or care from the nurse.
Often the ability of the patient is affected by the illness or health deficit.
The self-care deficits are identified, and a care plan is drawn up.
Peplau’s developmental or interpersonal model
worked mainly with patients suffering from mental health problems.
building a relationship with the patient upmost importance.
not advocate a checklist form of assessment but describes four stages which closely relate to the four stages of the early nursing process format.
Orientation –
assessment phase – getting to know the patient
Identification –
planning phase – the patient starts to trust the nurse and what
they can do for them
4 stages of peplau developmental or interpersonal model
Orientation –
Identification –
explotation
resolution
Exploitation –
– implementation phase – the patient takes advantage of the nurse’s skills and both move forwards to mutually recognized goals
Resolution –
the patient gets better and no longer requires nursing input.
The Orpet & Jeffery Ability Model 2007 (Orpet and Welsh 2011)
The assessment phase is structured around the ‘abilities’ of the animal. What is the animal able to do or not do by
itself?
10 ‘abilities’ were selected as the basic requirements for an animal to function.
able to eat, drink and eliminate but also to express normal behaviour.
application of model when a patient is admitted what do we need to think?
certain questions are required to ensure correct info is obtained
completed by consent form or from consult with VS
constanly take measurements; temp, respiration rate, oxygen saturation and evaluate organ function - measurement = electrolytes,enzyme etc .
should kwno normal values
some other models of nursing care: Virginia Henderson Fundamental Needs Theory:
The unique function of the nurse is to assist the individual, sick or well, in the performance of those activities contributing to health or its recovery (or to a peaceful death) that s/he would perform unaided if s/he had the necessary strength, will or knowledge, and to do this in such a way as to help her/him
gain independence as rapidly as possible. She identified 14 fundamental needs
universal human needs model
Dorothy Johnson’s Behavioural System Model
Johnson’s model focuses on a behavioural system (the patient), its subsystems, and its environment
behavioural system model
Betty Neuman’s Systems Model
Neuman’s model focuses on the person as a complete system, the subparts of which are
interrelated physiological, psychological, socio-cultural, spiritual, and developmental factors.
health care system model
Imogen King’s Interaction model
A conceptual system with the goal of nursing bringing focused on bringing a person closer
to a healthy state. It has three interacting systems, the personal, the interpersonal, and
the social.

model of care ?
system of care , not rigid , but flexible and adaptable reflecting current practice and research
model of care should be
systematic
based on evidence
related to concepts
related to theories and values
why use models of care
less conflict between nurses on care required
incorporates care given by other members of team
consistency in care given
gives directions in nursing care
guides decisions making
models of care - human nursing
roper , logan and tierney
orem
peplau

roper , logan tierney - 5 main parts
activities of living
-Activities of Living (ALs).
• The patient's lifespan.
• Dependence-Independence continuum.
• Factors influencing the Activities of Living.
• Individuality in Living.
orems
models of self care
-Support of life processes & normal functioning
• Maintenance of normal growth & development
• Prevention and control of disease & injury
• Prevention of, or compensation for, disability
• Promotion of well being.
peplau
interpersonal/ interaction (developmental) model
orems universal self care requisities
Essential to Orem’s model are the 8 activities that are essential to attain self-care;
-The maintenance of a sufficient intake of air
-The maintenance of a sufficient intake of water
-The maintenance of a sufficient intake of food
-The provision of care associated with elimination processes & excrements
-The maintenance of a balance between activity & rest
-The maintenance of a balance between solitude & social interaction
-The prevention of hazards to life
-The promotion of functioning & development within social groups, and the desire to be ‘normal’.
peplau interpersonal model nursing is
an interpersonal process between patient and nurse

Orpet & Jeffery Ability Model
Is the animal able to …..
1. eat an adequate amount
2. drink an adequate amount
3. urinate normally
4. defecate normally
5. breath normally
6. maintain body temperature
7. groom itself
8. mobilise adequately
9. sleep/rest
10. express normal behaviour (interact normally)
other factos needd to be taken into account as they may affect the care provided
-Cultural differences
• Owner compliance
• Financial implications
