Directions

Read the following case study. Think about how you would apply Kolcaba’s Comfort Theory to the case study. Use Kolcaba’s Taxonomic Structure of Comfort Needs for the case study. Refer to page 529 of your textbook for an example of the diagram. I have also posted an example of how the grid should look. You must include the contexts of comfort experienced by the patient and the types of comfort provided. Include a title page. Abstract is not necessary, but an INTRODUCTION IS (“The purpose of this paper is to…”). This is a brief assignment in which a grid is used to provide the details along with a narrative

CASE STUDY

Mrs. C. is an 87-year-old African American patient who lives in her own home. Her daughter lives next door and is the primary caregiver for her mother. Mrs. C. suffers from pain related to bone cancer metastasis. As the nurse, you have been visiting Mrs. C. for several months. You have noticed her behavior indicates her pain is increasing. On your recent visit, you ask Mrs. C. to rate her level of comfort from 0-10 with 10 being the highest level of comfort. Mrs. C. rates her comfort level as 2. You question her further to assess her comfort needs areas.
