Program Track: Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner
NU502M5-5: Evaluate nursing theory and ethical decision making to assess, intervene in, and evaluate care.
Bringing it all together!
Nursing theory starts with ideas about what nursing is and what nursing does. Nurses then use nursing theory to improve the care that nurses provide with the goal of improving healthcare outcomes. As nursing theory evolves and expands through research and practice, nursing science and the discipline of nursing matures. Throughout this course, nursing theory has been examined from a variety of perspectives. Most importantly, the importance of nursing theory to advanced nursing roles has been explored.
