2020 unread replies.3939 replies.
Explicate a selected borrowed theory that you
already know or one that you read about in this week’s lecture, readings or
other materials. Provide an example of how this theoretical perspective has
been used to frame nursing knowledge, care or leadership in any health care
setting.
- List
the concepts that constitute the theory and - Describe
the relevance of those concepts to your advancing nursing knowledge and
practice.In other words, you would not describe Maslow’s theory as it relates to an
entry-level, new graduate nursing assessment, but you could consider how
an advanced practice nurse, working on his or her doctoral degree would
use that theory to improve patient outcomes, quality and safety, access or
cost.
Similarly you could talk about how using Albert Bandura’s Self Efficacy
concept facilitates more effective intervention in smoking cessation
initiatives.

Thinking about these categories of scholarship and project type, how would you
