Nursing Theory: Utilization and Application

Description

-- Presents an application focus as the central concept of this text -- whereby the authors describe each particular theory and apply it to real situations encountered by nurses today.
-- Six additional theories -- Orlando, Modeling and Role-Modeling, Mercer, Leininger, Parse, and Newman, present new information to the text that can be applied to nursing practice.
-- Designed to be used as a companion text to the Marriner Tomey & Alligood: Nursing Theorists and Their Work, presenting the application aspect of the core theory knowledge presented in the Marriner Tomey text.

The 2nd Edition of this popular text presents theory-based nursing practice in action, enabling the reader to see how both classic and contemporary nursing theories guide critical thinking for decision making in professional practice. A "real-world" approach promotes understanding and application by applying nursing concepts to real-life situations, and the use of case histories allows the reader to compare the various nursing care approaches presented in the text.
-- Chapter 4: Philosophies, Models, and Theories: Moral Obligations examines how moral imperatives for patient care emerged, and how the imperatives are used within the philosophies, models, and theories presented in the text.
-- The philosophies of three nursing theory pioneers, Nightingale, Watson, and Benner, provide readers with an historical perspective of earlier works that have preceded theories that guide practice.
-- Uses a consistent chapter format to provide a comprehensive base of theory knowledge to promote learning.
-- Examines the historical and contemporary concepts shaping nursing practice today.
-- Helps the readersbuild their critical thinking and decision making skills through a wealth of case studies, critical thinking tables, and critical thinking exercises.
