Rosemarie Rizzo Parse’s model of Human Becoming rates quality of life from each person's own perspective; like the Modeling and Role-Modeling theory. Parse’s theory differs from the traditional nursing process by not focusing on needing to fix patients but views the situation through the patient’s perspective. Allowing the nurse to simply be “present” and guide him or her toward their health goal.

Case Study
The hospice nurse sat with Ann's husband, Ben. Ann was resting quietly as the increased dosage of IV pain medication gradually reached its therapeutic level. Ben turned his head and slowly turned, looking out the room's only window. As he glanced up, a small flicker of light caught his breath. It was a shooting star. A tear fell from the corner of his eye and he turned to Ann. The nurse sensed that something significant to Ann and Ben was unfolding. Shuffling to Ann's bedside, he took her small fragile hand in his. These hands had rocked cradles, burped babies, and groomed the horses she loved to ride. Gently holding her hand, he turned to the nurse. "She would ride like the wind was chasing her." Looking back to Ann his voice broke; choking back tears "Ann, Ann I saw Jessie…Jessie is calling." Ben turned "Jessie was our daughter. She died having a baby that was too big. When she died it was a pitch-black night. Cold, so cold, the baby died too, a little boy, named him Abe, Jr. after Jessie's husband. I took Ann outside so she could cry to God above and there in this dark sky we saw two falling stars…together…just falling. We knew it had to be Jessie and Abe…two angels to light up the night." Ben turned back as a deep sigh escaped from Ann's lips. A soft smile remained as she joined Jessie and Abe.
Based on this case study how would the Nurse Deliver/Actualize Parse's Theory of Human Becoming in regard to the case study? (How can the nurse use Parse’s theory to guide her)
What are Characteristics of a human becoming nurse?
What are the Strengths and Weaknesses to this theory of nursing? (Discuss both).
What challenges exist for healthcare institutions to switch to this nursing approach?
How might Parse's Understanding of Transcendence guide the nurse, as Ann's death became a reality to Ben?
From the nursing theories we have discussed, what Additional Nursing Theory would you apply to this case study? (explain reasoning for choice). Develop a plan of care to include both nursing theories (be specific and provide reasons)
