[Solved]: Use the Tommy’s story template to complete this…

Use the Tommy’s story template to complete this assignment. It is attached to this module. Tommy’s story, which can be found in the resources for this lesson, is the basis for this discussion. Tommy is similar to many patients we encounter. Tommy becomes an alcoholic, and society—and, often, healthcare workers—perceive those who become alcoholics and/or addicts or those with chronic conditions as totally responsible for their conditions, making it hard to be compassionate or empathetic in caring for them. Part 1: Identify where you think each stage of change is located in Tommy’s story. Back up each identified stage with a direct quote from Tommy and your rationale why you believe this is the stage he’s in. Five Stages identified: Pre-contemplation, Contemplation, Preparation, Action and Maintenance. Part 2: Answer the following questions using Tommy’s story. Use direct quotes from the story to back up your thoughts for questions 1-3. This section should be no more than 2-3 sentences for each question. Be concise, but make sure critical thinking is evident. What factors contributed to Tommy’s reliance and finally his addiction to alcohol? (These can be listed.) How did the healthcare Tommy received impact his descent into alcoholism? (These can be listed.) How did Tommy’s healthcare support his continued sobriety? Explain the role nursing had in Tommy’s sobriety. What is your main takeaway from reading Tommy’s story? Explain how it will impact your nursing practice.
