NSG 511  Week 1 Individual Assignment Nursing Theory Perspectives

 
Instructions:

This activity is designed to expose you to a variety of nursing theory

perspectives.

Research several nursing theories and select one.

Analyze the theory. Your analysis should include:

• Description of the theory's background and influencing factors,

including worldview

• Explanation of the underlying assumptions
• Summary of how the theorist views the five patterns of knowledge:
• Empirical knowledge (the science)
• Esthetic knowledge (the art)
• Personal knowing (nurse-patient relationship)
• Ethical knowing (what constitutes good actions for that patient)
• Emancipatory knowing (sociopolitical considerations)
• Evaluation of major strengths and weaknesses
• Application strategies for clinical practice
• Citation of case example from personal or professional life that

describe the application in practice

Cite at least three scholarly articles.

Format your assignment as an APA formatted Word document:

WEEK 2

NSG 511  Week 2 Individual Weekly Structural Framework Analysis

Structural Framework Analysis

Instructions:

Organizations typically define their guiding principles through mission,

vision, and values. Health care organizations often base their

philosophy and care models in theory.

Locate your organization's nursing philosophy and theoretical

foundation for the nursing model.

Include the website address or a document identifying the health

system you are analyzing for faculty member review.

Note: If you do not have access to a model, use the internet to search

the phrase "care delivery model" to find one that is appropriate for this

assignment.

Analyze the theoretical foundation of the framework by considering:

• theoretical underpinnings, including the conceptual model,

philosophy, and metaparadigm

• how the foundation illustrates a conceptual or operational definition

of nursing theory

• if it is a conceptual definition, create an operational definition
• the empirical indicators and how they are measured

Cite a minimum of three APA formatted references.

Format your assignment as one of the following:

• 18- to 20-slide presentation with speaker's notes (minimum 100

words per content slide) Provide a Word document containing the

speaker's notes for the Instructor to submit to Turn it In.

• 875-word minimum paper

WEEK 3

 
NSG 511 Week 3 Individual Assignment  Evaluating a Nursing Model

 
Research theoretical models and how they can influence a practice

model.

Think about the specialized practice area you are pursuing. The theory

selected for this week may be used for the Week 4 and 5 individual

assignments.

Select a model or theory and apply it as a foundation for the

development of a practice model.

Note: Although nursing theories and models are acceptable, we

encourage you to research and apply theories and models from other

disciplines when most appropriate and applicable.

Address the following questions in your application:

• How does the theoretical model provide a framework for your

specialized practice?

• What perspectives does the theoretical model have for the guidelines

set forth for your specialized practice?

• How does the theoretical model provide a framework for real world,

hands-on situations?

• How does the theoretical model guide or influence research in your

specialized field?

• How does the theoretical model provide a framework for predicting or

directing nursing interventions?

Cite at least five scholarly APA-formatted references.

Format your assignment as one of the following:

• 18- to 20-slide presentation with speaker's notes (minimum 100

words per content slide) Provide a Word document of the speaker's

note for the Instructor to submit to Turn it In.

WEEK 4

 
NSG 511 Week 4 Individual Assignment Theory in Practice

 
Instructions:

Application of theory in practice typically happens in the management of

patient care. This assignment is designed to illustrate the relationship

between theory and practice through the integration of care throughout

the nursing process.

Create a visual representation of how your selected model or theory

can be or is integrated into the care of patients.

Ensure your conceptual framework:

• Explains the intersection of practice and societal norms for care
• Articulates the benefits to those served
• Guides practice, research, or education

Submit your visual representation as one of the following:

• Infographic
• Chart
• Diagram
• Concept map

Write a 260- to 350-word summary explaining your visual

representation and consideration of the questions. A minimum of one

peer-reviewed sources is required.

WEEK 5

NSG 511 Week 5 Individual Assignment  Empirical Indicators

Instructions:

As discussed in Week 1, empirical indicators are measurements in

practice. Now that you have identified and built your practice model,

you can start looking for ways to test it. This assignment is designed to

help you better align your practice model to the practice setting.

Review the Week 3 and 4 assignments.

Analyze your theory and practice model to develop testable empirical

indicators. Discuss what concepts from the theory will be tested.

Explain your chosen empirical indicators by presenting them in the form

of testable hypotheses or by explaining what data would result from

testing them.

Present a plan for how you will test the hypotheses or gather data in

your practice setting.

Include at least one peer-reviewed source.

Format your assignment as one of the following:

• 18- to 20-slide presentation with speaker's notes (minimum 100

words per content slide) Include a Word document with speaker's notes

for the Instructor to submit to Turn it In.

WEEK 6

NSG 511 Week 6 Individual Assignment  Theory-Practice Reflection

Instructions:

Now that you have researched a theory, created a practice model, and

examined what empirical indicators are present, reflect on the theorypractice

relationship and take a stance on the following question:

• Do current theories and models advance the nursing discipline by

guiding practice?

Debate the question with your Learning Team. Provide a team

summary report of no more than 500 words. A minimum of one

reference is suggested.

Note your thoughts before, during, and after the debate. You will use

them for this week's individual assignment.
