started from formulating a question or when there is an area of concern. This occurs when there is a gap in the information that demands a solution to help improve nursing practice (Schmidt & Brown‚ 2015). A nurse can identify a research problem through professional literature‚ clinical experience‚ previous research‚ current nursing theories‚ and national initiatives (Schmidt & Brown‚ 2015). Professional literature can help to identify a research problem. Reading journals‚ using internet search engines

Introduction to the Economics theory you are going to apply Markets are usually a good way to organize economic activity. In his 1776 book An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations economist Adam Smith made the most famous observation in all of economics: Households and firms interacting in markets act as if they are guided by an “invisible hand” that leads them to desirable market outcomes.

Story Theory is a middle-range theory put forward by Mary Jane Smith and Patricia Liehr in 1999. They believe that stories are an essential part of nursing practice.

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).
