Roy's Adaptation Model and accident and emergency nursing.
This article aims to analyse Roy's Adaptation Model and to discuss its relevance to the Accident and Emergency (A & E) area. A brief description of a model of nursing will be given, initially, followed by an outline of the major concepts of Roy's Adaptation Model. An attempt will then be made to apply the Model to the care of a patient suffering severe chest pain who presents at the A & E department. Finally, the practicability of applying Roy's Model to A & E will be considered.
