title: Nursing a person who had suffered a myocardial infarction.
abstract: The life-threatening experience of an acute myocardial infarction stimulates a wide variety of physical and psychological responses for both the person and his family. The nurse's role is to assist a person through a major life crisis from a dependent to an independent status. The Roper, Logan and Tierney model for nursing provides a suitable framework for nursing a person who has suffered a myocardial infarction. This approach to care ensures that maximum health potential is achieved.
