Week 2 Discussion
- Choose two concepts in the theory you choose last week and describe:
- How are the concepts defined in general (from other references)?
- How does the theorist define each of the concepts you have chosen?
- How do those concepts apply to your clinical practice? Give concrete examples.
- The second part to this week’s discussion includes developing your group project. Post an outline of the project with assignments for each portion on your group discussion board. Each group member should complete an equal amount of work
Guidelines: To support your work, use the textbooks from your course and also use the South University Online Library, citing your sources in your work and providing references for the citations in APA format. Weekly lecture notes are designed as overviews to the topic for the respective week and should not serve as a citation or reference.

Participation in Discussion
No responses to other classmates were posted in this discussion forum.
May include one or more of the following:
*Comments to only one other student’s post.
*Comments are not substantive, such as just one line or saying, “Good job” or “I agree.
*Comments are off topic.
Comments to two or more classmates’ initial posts but only on one day of the week. Comments are substantive, meaning they reflect and expand on what the other student wrote.
Comments to two or more classmates’ initial posts on more than one day. Comments are substantive, meaning they reflect and expand on what the other student wrote.
Comments to two or more classmates’ initial posts and to the instructor’s comment (if applicable) on two or more days. Responses demonstrate an analysis of peers’ comments, building on previous posts. Comments extend and deepen meaningful conversation and may include a follow-up question.

Florence nightingales Concepts Example Week 2 Discussion
There are many nursing concepts other than the concepts explored within the metaparadigm of nursing theory. For instance, a family nurse practitioner can apply one of the leading concepts of decision making when exploring the best alternative to make a sound intervention. The concept of decision-making allows the provider to make sound choices and solutions based on the available alternative and collected information (Medeiros et al., 2015). In most cases and especially in the nursing realm, the decision-making process significantly affects patient outcomes. Role transition from a registered nurse to an advanced practice nurse is another concept that can be applied to all advanced nursing practice roles. This concept has different ideologies that connect with individual roles and which different roles of advanced can be applied into practice (Medeiros et al., 2015). For example, when transitioning from RN to FNP roles, different factors and attributes are considered because they can differ from RN to CRNA. When shifting roles from RN to FNP, there is a change from an experienced person to inexperienced, potentially leading to loss of competence and confidence (Medeiros et al., 2015).
Theorists explain the concept of decision making in nursing practice as the use of rational defined procedures to select the best alternative from the several options to solve underlying problems in healthcare. The quality of collected data determines the type of solutions embraced based on the described situation. Conversely, role shifting is described by theorist in three stages. Role transitioning involves moving in, moving through, and moving out to examine the three-phase processes linked with role transition (Medeiros et al., 2015). These two new concepts of Florence Nightingale’s theory serve as the base that allows science and discipline to establish the nursing practice. These concepts also improve care practice by assessing planning, implementation, evaluation, and directing nursing research (Medeiros et al., 2015).

NSG 5002 Week 2 Assignment: Theory Development – Barrier and Stimulants – Week 2 Project
This week you will turn in a draft of your “Personal Philosophy and Theoretical Concepts” paper. Your paper should contain the following sections:
- Nursing Autobiography: A brief (1 page) discussion of your background in nursing. This does not include future goals.
- The Four Metaparadigms: Describe what the literature says about the basic four metaparadigms/concepts of patient, nurse, health, and environment. Do not relate the metaparadigms to the theory you have chosen.
- Briefly describe the theory you have chosen.
- Two Practice-Specific Concepts: in separate subsections discuss each of your two concepts:What is the definition of the concept (outside of the theory)?How does your theorist define your concept?How does this concept apply to your clinical setting? Give an example of how nurses in your area provide care that correlates with the theorist’s definition of the concept.
You MUST use the attached template here to complete your paper.
The paper is to be thoroughly researched and well documented, with relevant material from the nursing theorists presented incorporated into the paper. Use the current edition of the APA Manual throughout the paper. Sources should focus on references from nursing theory but may also include conceptual and theoretical material from other professional domains. The paper, excluding references or appendices, is to be limited to 3-5 pages. Writing should be succinct and well organized, as it is impossible for the facilitator to evaluate form and content separately. NSG 5002 Week 2 Assignment: Theory Development – Barrier and Stimulants
