This assignment is a strategy to assist students to incorporate concept identification, theory utilization, and middle range theory development in informing the care of patient populations, including those of differing cultures.
- Watch the film“Breathing Lessons: The Life of Mark O’Brien” as a case study which you can find on the internet.
- Introduction
- Make a list of all of the concepts that you identify as relevant to the nursing care of Mark (List should be of approximately 10 to 15 concepts)
Review Leininger’s Cultural Care and Diversity Model or the Purnell Model and the major concepts of their model.
- Select from your list of concepts, four concepts that are relevant to either the Leininger or Purnell Model.
- Use the literature to define each of the four concepts selected (characteristics or attributes of the concept). Provide references.
- Apply knowledge of characteristics/attributes of the four concepts in formulating three nursing assessment questions for each of the four selected concepts of your middle-range theory. (Present the questions separately for each concept).
