RELEVANT THEORIES AND MODELS2Identifying relevant theories and modelsA nursing model or theory is a set of stipulated ideologies that give specialists a way of determining a strategy of care, evaluating the successes, and addressing any issues that may arise. Nursing theories are usually named after the nurses who first promulgated them, and the theories recognize, describe, and clarify a variety of the concepts of nursing (Fawthrop, 2015).The purpose of this paper is to identify nursing theories and models in relation to a case study of a client undergoing mental health issues due to a sexual problem. In light of this, this paper reviews three theories that may be appropriate in addressing the client’s sexual problem and how neuroscience has contributed to the understanding of the client’s problem. Additionally, the paper singles out and discusses the most appropriate nursing theory that signifies the client’s situation. Finally, the paper identifies and explains a systems perspective that gives an understanding of the family and other theories and major models of family and related interventions pertaining to human sexuality. Theory IdentificationThe following three theories are appropriate for understanding and addressing the client’ssexual needs:The Systems TheoryThe systems theory was promulgated by Betty Neuman (Aronowitz & Fawcett, 2016). The systems theory views human beings as whole individuals, who are multidimensional beings, and whose systems are in constant interaction with the environment. They have socio-cultural, developmental, physiological, spiritual, and psychological survival factors. According to Neuman & Fawcett (2012) the theory explains that the structure of human beings consists of the line of resistance, both the flexible and normal lines of defense, and the central survival core. The

The systems theory is appropriate for understanding the client sexual needs since the theory majorly highlights issues dealing with stress and stressors. The client’s sexual problem has been brought about by the infidelity of the wife. The client is therefore stressed up and cannot perform his normal duties both at work and at home. The client is also experiencing instances of headache, the client has been affected emotionally and cries often, and the client cannot concentrate effectively.The adaptive theoryThe adaptive systems theory was conceptualized by Callista Roy (Masters, 2015). The adaptive theory approaches human beings as open systems which are interacting with theenvironment. The theory talks about a stimulus or an environmental information which can be contextual, residual, or focal. The stimuli usually call for adaptive responses which include; interdependence, self-concept, physiological needs, and role function. Roy (2014) explains that the cognitive and the regulatory are necessary for analysis and adaptation of the stimuli. Nurses therefore, support the patients by either reducing, maintaining, or increasing stimuli (Masters, 2015).In light of the client’s sexual problem, the adaptive theory is similarly appropriate for understanding the problem. The stimuli in the client’s case is the unfaithful wife who is the causeof all the problems of the client which now calls for the response. The client is responding in various ways such as excessive drinking of alcohol, crying, difficulty in decision making on who
