As a nurse it is imperative to integrate the psychosocial of a critically ill patient and their family into care. One not only cares for the patient’s physical health, they care for all the components that makes up the patients entity. Sick patients face many obstacles. During the different phases of illness the nurse must alter care to accommodate the patients and family’s needs. Ones acceptance to the various stages can be facilitated and expressed through the Jean Watsons Philosophy, and Transpersonal Caring Theory.…
Purpose of this assignment is to provide the student with the opportunity to examine assessment tools that evaluate on-physical measures. Applying Watson’s Theory of Human caring integrates the mind-body-spirit dimensions. Nurses should be knowledgeable in tools to expand the abilities of nurses to assess and evaluate clients in various stages and states of health, illness, stress and life.…
In 1951, Watson attended a lecture that Franklin was giving to her co-workers on her work thus far with DNA. There on an invitation from Wilkins, he "stared at her pop-eyed and wrote down nothing" [Judson, 1986]. Two weeks later, Watson and Crick announced that they had completed a model of DNA.…
2. What role did James Watson & Francis Crick play in our understanding of DNA’s structure? They discovered the 3D structure.…
Changes in health care delivery have increased nursing workloads and responsibility. Patients have increased acuity levels and nurse patient ratios have increased partly due to the shortage of professional nurses. There has been a shift from the medical model to a patient centered or family centered care model. This shift has been influenced by hospitals needs to increase patient satisfaction and patient safety. The goal is to involve patients and families in the decision making of all aspects of care and to empower patients. This requires communication and collaboration with all disciplines and embodies Watson’s caring theory and the concepts of Holistic nursing and wholeness.…
X-ray crystallography helped determined the three dimensional structure of DNA when Franklin returned to England. She became the first person to find the molecule¡¯s sugar-phosphate backbone while working with a team of scientists at King¡¯s College in London. Unfortunately, leadership misunderstandings and personality conflicts depreciated Franklin¡¯s effectivness in the laboratory. Maurice Wilkins, the laboratory¡¯s second in command, returned from a vacation expecting Franklin to work under him. Franklin came to the laboratory with the understanding that she would be researching alone. While Franklin was direct and decisive, Wilkins tended to be alluding and passive-aggressive. As Franklin made further advances in DNA research, Wilkins secretly shared her findings with the famous duo of Watson…
Biophysicist Maurice Wilkins was born on December 15, 1916, in Pongaroa, New Zealand. He worked with the Manhattan Project before turning to biophysics. He produced the first image of DNA fibers. Also a conflict did occur between him and his colleague Rosalind Franklin, helped do the Watson and Crick double-helix model shared in 1953. Wilkins got the Nobel Prize for his work. He died on October 6, 2004.…
* Erwin Schrodinger – his book What is Life was a great inspiration to Watson, who agreed that many secrets can be uncovered if the scientific world dedicated itself to discovery of what the true secrets of life are…
Franklin work with DNA lead to the ultimate discovery of the DNA structure and forever change the way we now understand the make up of the human body. Even though Franklin did not receive recognition during her life time, she is widely accepted as a DNA…
Television shows, plays, and movies can easily relate to any human. Emotion sometimes is the way to connect to an individual. Everything is for a reason in the lime light. There was a specifically movie that caught my attention. This movie related to me in so many ways.…

This so-called father of behaviorism was born in 1878, in South Carolina into a poor family. Although left fatherless at the young age of thirteen, Watson who had drive and ambitionentered into college at the age of sixteen. He had entered college intending to become a minister. In 1903, he received his PhD in psychology from the University of Chicago. Watson was the youngest person in the school 's history to have received a doctorate degree. This goes to show how tenacious and ambitious he was.…
The video begins by introducing Francis Crick and James Watson and speaking about their contributions on the discovery of the double helix in DNA. However Watson and Crick could not have made their discovery without the research and contributions of one unrecognized scientist: Rosalind Franklin. The video talks about Rosalind’s early life and then shows us the legacy that she left behind in science. From an early age Rosalind was extremely intelligent, and in 1983 she won a scholarship to study physics and chemistry at Cambridge University. Here she began to work on X-ray crystallography. By the time she graduated WWII was in full swig so she began to contribute to the war effort by designing…
Watson and Crick’s discovery of the DNA double helix in 1953 marked an era of extraordinary creativity in biology. In ‘The Double Helix’, James Watson reveals their struggles against anti-helical…
