Individuals and a Family as a Client
Mila Jefferies is a recently widowed 36-year-old mother of two children and the daughter of two aging parents in the southeastern United States. She and her children have recently relocated from an urban neighborhood to a rural town to care for her parents, Robert and Susan. The move involved a job change for Elizabeth, a change in schools for the children, and an increased distance from the family of the children’s deceased father. Mila’s older child is a 5-year-old daughter, recently diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder and dyslexia. The younger of the two children is a 3-year-old boy with asthma that has been difficult to control since the move. Robert is a 72-year-old Methodist minister who recently suffered a stroke, leaving him with diminished motor function on his left side and difficulty swallowing. Susan is 68 years old and suffers from fibromyalgia, limiting her ability to assist with the daily care of her husband. She has experienced an increase in generalized pain, difficulty sleeping, and worsening fatigue since her husband’s stroke.
Use the Neuman systems model as a conceptual framework to respond to the following: Describe the Jefferies family as a client I system using each of the five variables. What actual and potential stressors threaten the family? Which stressors are positive, and which are negative? Separate the actual and potential stressors that threaten the individual members of the family. Which of the stressors are positive, and which are negative? What additional nursing assessment data are needed considering Robert’s medical diagnoses? What additional data would be helpful for Susan’s medical diagnoses? What about each of the children? What levels of prevention intervention(s) are appropriate for the Jefferies family? Propose potential prevention intervention(s) for each member of the family. Identify your nursing priorities if you were providing care to this family.

What is the relationship between technology and intimacy? In what ways does technology help and hinder intimacy?
In “The Empathy Diaries,”Sherry Turkle analyzes the effects of a loss of empathy, and
considers the extent to which conversations offer a way to push back against that loss.
Maria Konnikova similarly analyzes the ways in which technology has affected our
relationships. Konnikova has concerns that our use of technology and social media may
be diminishing our Dunbar Number, and our ability to create intimate, real connections
with each other For this assignment, you will apply the arguments by Turkle and
Konnikova in order to analyze the effects of technology on intimacy. Using specific
concepts and details from “The Empathy Diaries” and “The Limits of Friendship,”
write an essay in which you analyze the effect of technology and/or social media
on intimacy. Are there aspects of online friendships Konnikova doesn’t appreciate (that
you do)? How do children learn how to be social? Why does that matter? What role can
or should technology plan in our everyday lives? How does social media affect our
ability to empathize with each other? What does it mean to always be connected?
Further questions to help you explore:
Questions for further consideration (use these to help you brainstorm; you should not try
to answer every question):
● What is the relationship between technology and intimacy? In what ways does
technology help and hinder intimacy? Are there places online where you can be
more authentic? Is our online presence always curated? Why might that matter?
● Who is the target audience of these essays? What do these authors hope to
convince us of? In what ways do their ideas work together to make a
commentary on the ever increasing role of technology in our lives?
● What is the Dunbar Number? Is this a valid way of looking at relationships? Why
or why not?
● What does intimacy have to do with empathy? Connection?
