Abstract

Discusses the validations of Nancy Roper Model for rendering nursing care to Human Immunodefyciente Vírus (HIV) infected clients. Study was carried out through qualitatively approached case study. I have cared to eight HIV positive clients on hospital, clinic and home level on nursing terms, according to Nancy Roper's theoric and philosophic postulates. I have verified, among the aspects, that the use of the model allows a holistic and individualized approach to client, as well as make clear the need of participation of the individual and of a HIV positive client, starting with his way of life, puts into evidence dicotomies as yet unsolved by the nursing. The Method allows to propose a systemized nursing assistance on level of elementary, secondary, tertiary an rehabilitation level to health, its application to home care is much easier because of closeness to client's normal surroundings, also enclosing his social group.
