Modeling is the process by
which the nurse develops an image of the client’s
world, giving the nurse ability to understand the
world from the client’s perspective, and Role-Modeling
occurs when the nurse plans interventions to
role-model health behaviors congruent with the
client’s worldview (Erickson et al., 1998) The theory
is based on adaptation and through a specific
assessment of adaptive potential, the Adaptive
Potential Assessment Model (APAM), the nurse is guided
to assess the client’s strengths, areas of positive
adaptation, and state of arousal (Erickson & Swain,
1982). Professional nursing from within this framework
requires that the nurse build a model of the client’s
world and from within that model the nurse must
role-model health behaviors to assist the client
regain/attain health. Nursing care is planned only
after discussion and mutually agreed-upon goals of
care.
