Answer preview

The theory is used in healthcare practice and settings to understand the patients’ needs and focuses on improving the patient’s behaviors. The theory stresses the importance of the nurse-patient relationship in fostering quality healthcare. The major challenge in providing care using this process is that it cannot be used in emergency departments. This is because repetitive interactions between the nurse and patient are required to diagnose (Ortiz, 2020). Another challenge is that it may be challenging to use the theory in patients who cannot communicate or are critically ill. Hence the theory is limited in its range of use. The theory can be made more usable through the integration of technology in nurse-patient interactions. The use of technology will aid in communication and assessment of patient information; hence can be used in the nursing practice to provide care.
