Demonstrate logical and creative thinking in the analysis and application of a theory to nursing practice. (PO#4)

This week, I also want you to consider how the knowledge base that supports the profession grows/develops. Why? Because I want to consider how nursing theory impacts our knowledge base. To do this, you will have to see that nursing theory is different from knowledge. When I use the term “theory” or “nursing theory”, I’m only referring to published works by individuals who try to define/explain the nursing profession. People like Roy, Orem, etc. By reflecting, reading and analyzing theories, we will be meeting the objectives as listed.

So take a minute–draw a circle, and put the three elements along the path of the circle. What happens to knowledge if you start with research? What happens to knowledge if you start with practice? Should research always occur before practice?

Remember, there is no right or wrong answers but use the literature to support your opinion as you analyzed the information.

Looking forward to your thoughts,
