By engaging with your learning resources this the week you have explored: 1) what theory is, 2) the definition of nursing theory, 3) the classifications of nursing theory, and 4) a wide range of nursing theories and frameworks.
Consider your current healthcare practice setting.
Reflect on how you approach your personal practice in that setting.
From your learning resources, or any other resources on nursing theory you may have accessed and explored outside the learning resources, what theory or theories do you see your personal approach to practice aligned with?
Construct a presentation that includes the following elements:
NOTE: typically an appropriately structured presentation will have limited information on the actual slide; however, when the presentation also serves as a graduate level assignment worth 150 points it is anticipated/expected that additional depth of information may need to be included in the slide “Notes” section
1. Title slide
2. Identify a theory you see as being aligned with your personal approach to practice
3. Provide an overview of the highlights/main points of the identified theory (2 to 3 slides)
4. Provide examples of how your personal approach to practice is aligned with elements/aspects of the theory you identified – ensure that you have included a minimum of 3 to 5 examples (3 to 5 slides)
5. Describe the connection between nursing theory and nursing practice as you understand that to be from the learning resources from the unit (1 to 3 slides)
6. A slide for references formatted consistent with 7th edition APA Manual guidelines; for each reference entry there needs to be a corresponding in-text style citation in the presentation; ensure that you cite the source of the information about your identified theory and any other elements that may require support from the scholarly resources.
