The Roy Adaptation Model used as a guide for the nursing care of an 8-year-old child with leukemia.
Roy's Adaptation Model provides a framework for holistic oncology nursing practice. In this article, an overview of Roy's model is provided. It is used to assess the behaviors and stimuli influencing the behaviors of an 8-year-old boy with acute lymphocytic leukemia. Planning and evaluating the nursing care of this child is based on the model. A comprehensive list of nursing diagnoses is categorized according to Roy's four adaptive modes, and a nursing care plan for two of these diagnoses is presented.
