Module Four Imogene King and Myra Levine were nurses who viewed nursing as more than just handing out medications. Imogene King developed the Conceptual System and Theory of Goal Attainment in 1970’s-1980’s (George, 2011). Myra Levine developed the Conservation Principles in 1989 (George, 2011).

Internally, she shut down and was even unable to read music anymore. There are several interventions that might ground the nurse in caring for Jane. The nurse can establish a therapeutic relationship, giving Jane someone who can use effective communication to help meet the individual needs (Ackley & Ladwig, 2014). The nurse can also promote social interactions by supporting Jane’s expression of feelings (Ackley & Ladwig, 2014). One other intervention a nurse might do for Jane is to assist her in identifying acceptable activities that encourage socialization (Ackley & Ladwig,
