There are many situations in nursing care where a nurse would apply a nursing theory. As Hood mentioned‚ a particular nursing theory may fit a clinical situation better than others (Hood‚ 2014‚ p.149). This allows the nurse to use the wide array of models to give care that is patient centered. The theory that appealed to me most is Orem’s theory. Orem’s theory states that “the purpose of nursing is to help people meet their self-care needs” (Hood‚ 2014‚ p.136). This I feel plays an important part

Select two grand nursing theories and discuss how each theorist addresses the metaparadigm for nursing. Discuss briefly the similarities and differences of the two. The nursing metaparadigm consists of the concepts person‚ heath‚ nursing‚ and environment. The purpose of a metaparadigm is to “summarize the intellectual and social missions of the discipline and place boundaries on the subject matter of that discipline” (McEwen & Wills‚ 2014‚ p.41). It is essentially a domain that explains the

Nurses use theory to help guide them in their nursing practice. Paradigms are the way we look at knowledge in a discipline such as nursing (McEwen & Wills‚ 2014). They take into account different values. Grand nursing theories utilize three paradigms: human needs‚ interactive and unitary process. These paradigms take into account the nature of human beings and how they do‚ or do not‚ interact with their environment and health care providers. The human needs paradigm evaluates basic human needs

Nursing as a professional discipline places the greatest demands specific to the development and refinement of the caring concept for nursing. By exploring the caring concept‚ within the boundaries of professional nursing practice‚ both the capabilities and constraints of caring relative to nursing‚ can be identified (Kaur‚ Sambasivan‚ Kumar‚ 2015). For nurses‚ caring behaviors enhance feelings of self-accomplishment and well-being and enable them to better know their patients’ perceptions and thus

One aspect that I believe to have been a successful part of my practice over these past few weeks is my increased confidence and ability to recognize assessment results that stray from the norm‚ such as a blood pressure of 90/60. This was particularly made apparent a few times within these past few weeks‚ but more particularly when working with a patient whose temperature averaged around 34.5 degrees Celsius. As that is well below what one’s average temperature could be and could be a warning sign

EBP:Definition & Explanation As I go through my research regarding evidence-based practice and its importance to my profession‚ I came to encounter different authors who had stated numerous definitions and explanations for the term. One definition that succinctly captures the essence of evidence-based practice (EBP) is that of Ingersoll’s (2000). She defines EBP as‚ “the conscientious‚ explicit‚ and judicious use of a theory-derived‚ research-based information in making decisions about care delivery to

Also how ethics‚ morals and values affect nursing policies and ways the affect the nurse in providing care. Scope of Practice The nursing scope of practice was developed by the American Nurses Association (ANA).

Behaviorists believe that what one learns is influenced by the environment instead of the student. The theory of behavioral learning also contends that reinforcement‚ whether positive or negative‚ are essential to the learning process (Smith‚ 2005). As a teacher one particular function‚ according to the behavioral learning theory‚ would be to make use of negative reinforcers to
