Models of Practice

MN502-3: Evaluate the application of models of practice to the advanced nurse roles.

What is the difference between a model and a theory?
A model demonstrates the researcher’s interpretation of how concepts are related to one another and is developed based on qualitative research. A theory is a hypothesis tested and measured to explain, predict, describe, and prescribe relationships between concepts and is developed through quantitative research.

In short, the difference between a model and a theory is the amount of proof that exists in demonstrating the outcomes they predict.

What do models and theories have in common?
Both models and theories show relationships between concepts. Models often are precursors to theory development.

Directions
Locate a model of practice that you could apply to nursing. It does not need to be a nursing model. Models of practice can be found in leadership, business, education, and technology. Explain how you will use the model you chose in your advanced practice role.

Phase 5: Developing a Care Plan Develop a comprehensive care plan for the aggregate. Propose a nursing diagnosis and suggest interventions that address the major health risks identified from the risk assessment (phase 4). In your care plan, include a list of disasters that may affect the aggregate and a disaster management plan. The care plan should propose a nursing diagnosis for the aggregate and include strategies to tackle the major health risks identified during the risk assessment. In addition, it should include a disaster management plan with the following components: List of disasters that might affect your aggregate (take into consideration the geographical location of the aggregate, past history, etc.) Strategies for handling at least two disasters from the list Recommendation for a disaster supplies kit Your comprehensive care plan should be in a 4 pages Microsoft Word document. Be sure to apply Mobilize, Assess, Plan, Implement, Track (MAP-IT) in your assessment process. Support your responses with examples.

dentifying Three Nursing Care Priorities – Nursing Assignment

Question:

Identify the three nursing care priorities using the first four steps of the Clinical Reasoning Cycle

1. Consider the patient – describe facts and contents. This is the first stage of the clinical reasoning cycle, the nurse begins to gain an initial impression of the client’ situation.

For example:

his is an 89 old client – Giuseppe Guinta. He feels breathless on exertion, with wheezing and chest tightness. A 5 x 6x 0.2 cm ulcer is found at his right  nkle, with a fair amount of exudate and an offensive smell. Giuseppe lives with his wife, Regina who experiences an intermittent memory loss, in  two-storey house…

2. Collect cues/information – review the information, gather new information andrecall knowledge;

Giuseppe had a history of smoking for 20 years, COPD for 10 years, hypertension and cardiac failure for 6 years…

Giuseppe feels tired easily and has difficulty climbing stairs and managing garden recently. His leg ulcer shows no sign of improvement. He also feels embarrassed about the smell and exudate from his leg ulcer…

3. Process information – to interpret, discriminate, relate, infer, match the data and predict an outcome.

COPD – related to smoking

Shortness of breath – related to COPD and cardiac failure…

Leg ulcer – related to immobility, smoking, cardiac failure and COPD…

4. Identify problems/issues –synthesise all the information that has been collected and processed in order to identify the most significant patient problems or issues. You only need to identify three (3) issues for this assignment.

Consider an advance practice nursing care problem or issue to explore relating to your intended DPI. 

Consider an advance practice nursing care problem or issue to explore relating to your intended DPI Project. Conduct a search in the GCU Library using CINAHL, The Cochrane Library, the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI), OVID, or Sage Research Methods databases to find appropriate empirical resources regarding nursing intervention research that apply.
