Module Two Discussion questions (listed below) are stated broadly to incorporate synthesis of information from the required textbook as well as additional professional literature (research based, peer-reviewed, and such). The hope is to expand the mind to explore and share great exploratory thoughts based on literature at a graduate level.
The focus is to open with a broad base of how nursing diagnosis, nursing therapeutic taxonomies, evolution of nursing theories, and evidence-based practice connect and further nursing knowledge as well as the discipline of nursing (question one [1]). To thoroughly answer question one, use current professional literature.
After a broad discussion tying in nursing theory, move to discussion of grand theories (questions two [2]and three [3]). After discussion of grand theories move to discussion of middle-range theories (question four [4]), and comparison of grand and middle-range nursing theories (questions five [5], and six [6]). To thoroughly answer questions two through six, use current professional literature and required textbooks.
If accessing the original source of a nursing theory, the year of the nursing theory creation may be older than “within the last three to five years.” The original source (older than within the last three to five years) of nursing theory may count as one professional source. The additional number of required professional literature needs to be within the last three to five years.
Please write thorough responses to each of the six questions listed below for Module 2 Discussion Board:
Identify how the development of nursing diagnosis and nursing therapeutic taxonomies contribute to advancing nursing knowledge. Identify how the support for evidence-based practice is an indication of progress in the nursing discipline.
2. Describe grand nursing theory. After describing grand nursing theory, explain two (2) examples of grand nursing theories.
3. Discuss the impact of grand nursing theories on patient care.
4. Describe middle range nursing theory. After describing middle range nursing theory, explain two (2) examples of middle range nursing theories.
5. Describe how middle range nursing theory differs from grand nursing theory.
6. Discuss the impact of middle range nursing theories as compared to grand nursing theories on patient care.
Students must provide citations and references for the initial posting and the final posting. Please use APA for references and citations. Students must always apply assigned readings plus other professional readings. Students will also have citations in the text of their responses as well as references at the end of their responses. Citations and references are required for all postings (initial, final/response to peer, and any additional posts). References for other professional readings need to be current, within the last three to five years.
Students must post a minimum of twice (an initial posting and at least one additional posting) per Discussion Board. The initial response and additional posting(s), including response to student, must reflect students own work-no plagiarism.
Students are expected to include, at minimum, two to five current (within the last three to five years) professional sources beyond the assigned readings to extend learning.
