Chapter 8: Dorothy Johnson‘s Behavioral System Model and Its Applications Instructions: Read the case study and answer the questions that follow. The preoperative area was busy. Five patients were waiting for their 7 A.M. surgeries. Over to one side was Angela, lying quietly on the stretcher holding her stuffed toy. The pink fluffy bunny was small enough to comfort a 5-year-old girl and snuggle next to her neck. As the circulating nurse for Angela‘s case came to take Angela back to the operating room she noticed the red heart that had been drawn on the plaster cast. The heart was in the center of the long leg cast and had the inscription ―daddy‘s big girl‖ in the center. The cast also had brightly colored flowers with smiling faces in the middle with the names Josey, Billy, Chelsea and Pepper taking up the remaining area. Angela hadn‘t looked at the nurse yet, but was petting her bunny with her left hand. This motion made the IV machine beep. The nurse glanced at Angela‘s toes— no swelling, pink, and since Angela was griping the edge of her cast with her toes the nurse knew that all toes were moving without difficulty. A noise cased the nurse to turn and see a tall woman with long red hair rush toward Angela. At this moment, Angela cried out ―Mommy, you came! Look at Bunny!‖ As the nurse looked from Angela and the bunny toward the woman, another stuffed animal peeped from the woman‘s hand. Angela was ecstatic ―Eeyore! You brought me Eeyore!‖ Angela turned to the nurse, saying, ―Now I can have my surgery. But they can‘t break my daddy‘s heart. I‘m sending it to him in Rock‖ Angela‘s mother turned to the nurse, winked, and said quietly ―Iraq.‖ Angela smiled and put her right thumb in her mouth but quickly stopped. Her eyes opened wider, ―Oh I‘m a big girl I don‘t suck my thumb anymore.‖ 1. Based on this case study, how would the nurse describe the holistic versus the particulate importance of Johnson‘ model?
