REQUIREMENTS

Description of the Assignment?

This assignment presents a modified method for conducting a concept analysis of?ONE?concept that is important and useful to the nurse practitioner role.? The concept for this assignment must be supported by a published?nursing?theory. The selected concept is identified and then the elements of the analysis process are applied in order to synthesize knowledge for application as demonstrated through the creation of model, borderline, and contrary cases.? Theoretical applications of the concept are also discussed. Non-nursing theories may?NOT?be used. The paper concludes with a synthesis of the student’s new knowledge about the concept. The scholarly literature is incorporated throughout the analysis.??Only the elements identified in this assignment should be used for this concept analysis.??

A substantive discussion of this section with support from nursing literature is required.?

Literature review?

A substantive discussion of?at least 6 (six)?scholarly nursing literature sources on the selected concept.

Themes, ideas, and/or facts about the concept found in the reviewed sources are presented in an organized fashion.?

Support from nursing literature is required.?

Please Note:?Primary research articles about the selected nursing concept are the most useful resource for the literature review.?

Defining attributes,?for this section:? A minimum of?THREE (3)?attributes are required.?

A substantive discussion of this section with support from nursing literature is required. Explanation:? An attribute identifies characteristics of a concept. ?For this situation, the characteristics of the selected nursing concept are identified and discussed.?

Antecedent and Consequence?

1 antecedent?of the selected nursing concept.?

1 consequence?of the selected nursing concept.?

A substantive discussion of the element with support from nursing literature is required.?Explanation:?An antecedent is an identifiable occurrence that precedes an event.? In this situation, an antecedent precedes a selected nursing concept. A consequence follows or is the result of an event. In this situation, a consequence follows or is the result of the selected nursing concept.??

Empirical Referents?

Two (2)?empirical referents of the selected nursing concept.?

A substantive discussion of the element with support from nursing literature is required.? Explanation: An empirical referent is an objective ways to measure or determine the presence of the selected nursing concept.?

Construct Cases?

Explanation:?Hypothetical or real-life situations demonstrating the use or absence of the concept.?This section requires the creation of a model case, borderline case, and contrary case. Construct cases should be from the viewpoint of an advanced practice NP.

1 Model Case?is created by the student and discussed substantively by demonstrating within the case each of the following areas:?

Definition

All identified attributes. Explanation:??A model case is an example of a hypothetical or real-life situation that demonstrates all of the attributes noted previously in this assignment.?

Borderline Case?is created by the student in which one or two of the previously identified attributes are missing.?

1 Contrary Case?is created by the student that demonstrates the opposite of the selected nursing concepts. All identified attributes of the concept are absent in this?case. Explanation:? Borderline case is a created case where one or two of the previously identified attributes are missing. Contrary case is a created case that demonstrate the complete opposite of the selected nursing concept – all identified attributes are missing.?

Theoretical Applications of the Concept?

Discuss the purpose of a concept analysis in relationship to theory.?

Explain how the concept applies to the selected nursing theory.?

A substantive discussion of the element with support from nursing literature is required.?

Conclusion?

Summarization of key information regarding:?

Selected nursing concept.?

Selected nursing theory.?

Application of concept analysis findings to advanced practice nursing, specifically as an NP.?

The concluding statements include self-reflection on the new knowledge gained from conducting a concept analysis. (Self-reflection may be written in first-person.)?

Week 5 Application of Theory Assignment

Purpose

Within the profession of nursing, multiple theories, models, and conceptual frameworks have been created to serve as a foundation for practice. The purpose of this assignment is to appraise the value of the model in serving as a theoretical framework and apply the model to your selected area of future professional nursing practice (your MSN track). For this assignment, you will select any of the nursing models or theories focused on care or culture to address within the paper.

Course Outcomes

Through this assessment, the student will meet the following Course Outcomes:

Apply nursing theory as a framework to guide the translation of knowledge and implementation of evidence-based practice in future professional settings. (CO #2)

Analyze theories from nursing and relevant fields with respect to the components, relationships among the components, and application to advanced nursing practice. (CO#4)

Total Points Possible

This assessment is worth 200 points.

Due Date

Submit your file(s) by 11:59 p.m. MT Sunday at the end of Week 5.

Requirements

Criteria for Content

Select one of the models/theories presented in the week 5 lesson

In a three- to four-page scholarly paper, address the following:

Provide a succinct overview of the model or theory you have selected and discuss how the selected model or theory addresses the four concepts within the nursing metaparadigm (person, health, nursing, environment).

Discuss how the selected model or theory qualifies as a theoretical framework within the profession of nursing, and its use within the profession.

Describe how the chosen model or theory can be applied in your future nurse practitioner role.
