Abstract:
This paper looks at how theory can be related to nursing practice. The author describes the care of a patient with chronic alcohol misuse problems and shows how Peplau's model of nursing was used to help build trusting relationships and to identify and resolve the patient's problems. The nurses were also able to resolve any difficulties in nursing this patient by developing peer support and improving communication.
