Importance of Theory Rosa Susana Abarca Chamberlain College of Nursing NR-501: Theoretical Basis for Advanced Nursing Practice Spring January 2015 Theory is a notion or an idea that explains experience‚ interprets observation‚ describes relationships and projects outcomes (Parker & Smith‚ pg. 7). Theory is needed to have a systematic approach to guiding the practice of nursing by analyzing nursing concepts that are purposeful in developing thinking and guiding practice through proven research and

Most of the primates are omnivorous but might concentrate on certain foods and have adaptations for eating those foods. Adaptations for folivory: Molars have cuspss that are high/large and connecting the cusps is rigid enamel. The teeth come together and act like siccors to cut the leaves for digestion. Can have more complex/multichambered stomachs. Colobus monkeys have complex stomach like cows Adaptations for frugivory: Low rounded cusps Mortal and pestal like more crushing. Broad incisors

There are many ways that the Craniates and the Arthropods have adapted their bodies and their lives to be able to leave their aquatic habitats and live on land. There are many adaptations that happen both on the outside and the inside of the animal that make it possible for life outside of the water. In the Craniates‚ anything from the cranium‚ notochord‚ endoskeleton‚ central nervous system‚ brain‚ lungs and gill slits‚ and the ability to maintain their body temperature in the inside and the well-developed

Hans Selye’s General Adaptation Syndrome Scientist Hans Selye (1907-1982) introduced the General Adaptation Syndrome model in 1936 showing in three phases what the alleged effects of stress has on the body. In his work‚ Selye - ’the father of stress research‚’ developed the theory that stress is a major cause of disease because chronic stress causes long-term chemical changes. He observed that the body would respond to any external biological source of stress with a predictable biological

reconstructed problem-solving adaptations‚ the science then attempts to establish the common roots of our ancestral behavior‚ and how those common behavioral roots are demonstrated today in the widely scattered cultures of the planet. The goal is to understand human behavior that is universally aimed at the passing of one ’s genes into the next generation. The evolutionary theory of learning states that the way humans learn has evolved from generations and generations of adaptations. Evolutionary psychology

sensory adaptation and how adaptation is evident in each of the experimental results. It also provides a comprehensive description of the sensory systems in the experiments that I performed. Before starting the four experiments‚ I had to remember that I had to keep in mind that there are five major senses that our bodies use; taste‚ smell‚ seeing and hearing. I also felt that it was extremely important to get a general understanding of what sensory adaptation means. Sensory adaptation is the

Hydrophytes have various features in order to adapt in the aquatic environment in terms of morphological and anatomical adaptations. The morphological adaptations are divided into roots‚ leaves and stems. The roots of hydrophytes may be absent or poorly developed as they live in an extremely wet environment. Some hydrophytes do not have root caps and root hairs as to limit the absorption of

2: What is the main difference between physiological adaptation (as in sense‚ respond and adapt to the environment) and evolutionary adaptation? Evolutionary adaptation occurs over generations. Evolutionary adaptation does involve genetic change but it’s the change in traits as a result of genetic change that drives natural selection and evolutionary adaptation (just genetic change alone won’t drive evolutionary change). Physiological adaptation is an adjustment to environmental stress.
