C. (1). "Concept inventing" can be thought of as a way to analyze situations in such a way as to contemplate their meaning to create understanding. Using both the aspects of science, including logic, rationality, and empirical analysis, and art, including intuition, emotion, integrity, honor, and compassion, nurses can process information in such a way as to create a complete conceptual picture of both the abstract aspects and concrete facts of a situation. In doing so, nurses can create a basic definition of concepts that capture both the diversity and the personality of each patient, while simultaneously incorporating the experiences of others to create a universal concept.
C. (2). The process of concept inventing adds clarity to unique experiences that assist in individualizing patient care.
(3). First, the process of concept inventing is constantly moving, in that each concept is able to later be adjusted based on each unique experience. The concepts created are not meant to be stable, but instead are meant to guide one to a definition that captures the diversity of human life, and human experience. The general idea is to guide nurses to a structural, personal definition to advance their own knowledge. In attempting to understand each human being, and how that human being's experiences, thoughts, feelings, and emotions can be incorporated into the universal experience of human kind, a nurse can further their own knowledge of the human condition.
Even the process of creating a concept adds to the ability to view each patient as a unique and individual person in the community of human existence. Each new case requires a nurse to dwell on learned information from the patient, to strongly listen to intuition to provide a starting point for the concept, to listen carefully to the patient for possible clues to their experiences, and to appreciate each experience as unique. At the same time, a nurse is forced to take this information and use it to further their definitions, or concepts, that apply to the universal community. Through this encompassing thought process, a nurse is able to better understand, comprehend, evaluate, and care for each patient. The individualized nature of the concept invention process forces the nurse to view each life experience of each patient as individualized. As a result, the process of concept invention adds clarity to unique experiences that assist in individualizing patient care, as well as adds a layer of self-understanding to the lives of nurses that allows them to care for patients in a more personal manner. Process invention, in other words, exists as a part of the unitary concept of nursing, in that the process drives to find universal experiences on a personal, individualized plane.
D. In some journals, you will see "call-outs" placed strategically throughout the article to grasp the reader's attention or to highlight key points contained within the article. These callouts are brief, usually less than twenty words, and may be a whole or partial sentence. If you had to develop three "call-outs" to emphasize three main points of this article, what would they be?
The first call-out I would suggest would be, "Nursing art and nursing science combine to form a single conceptual system nurses can use to further their understanding of the universal human condition." Throughout the article, the author conveys...
Nursing Theorist: Sr. Roy Adaptation Model The Roy Adaptation model for Nursing had its beginning when Sister Callista Roy happened to get admitted in the Masters Program of pediatric nursing in the University of California, Los Angeles, in the year 1964. At that time, Sr. Callista was familiar with the idea of 'adaptation' in nursing, and it must be mentioned that Sr. Callista's adviser at that time was Dorothy E. Johnson,
In what ways did the wave of the nursing shortage in the 1980's and in 2000 support or constrain theoretical thinking? Why? Are there ways to influence the cycle of shortage and theoretical thinking? Identify one nursing theorist that would support your discussion/views. Provide rationale for selection of theorist. Nursing shortages have been a problem in this country for a long time. It has been found that because of these shortages
Nursing Concept Theoretical Background One of the complexities of 21st century medicine is the evolution of nursing care theories in combination with a changing need and expectation of the stakeholder population. Nurses must be advocates and communicators, but must balance these along with an overall philosophy of ethics while still remaining mindful of budgets and the need for the medical institution to be profitable. It seems as if these issues comprise a
Theoretical-Empirical Structure (CTE) Evaluation of the Roy Adaptation Model There are a number of valuable outcomes that can be achieved using conceptual models, theories, and empirical indicators for advanced nursing practice, including the application of models or theories to real-world nursing practice, research, and education. To develop some first-hand experience in this area, this paper examines how the Conceptual-Theoretical-Empirical (CTE) structure translates into nursing practice based on the Roy Adaptation
Nursing and Scholarship Will Two-Hour Turning and Positioning Decrease Pressure Ulcers in the Elderly Population in Nursing Homes? In order for a modern nurse to be both clinically and practically qualified to give exemplary patient care, they must be able to assimilate knowledge quickly and preserve the tenets of nursing while still excelling at the science of the field. . Within the subject of nursing, there are often times in which different
Nursing Theory "Discuss several aspects of professional communication as it relates to the use of language in terms of form (e.g., clarity, accuracy) and content (culture and/or ethics)." (Question, 2014, p1). Communication is the reciprocal process where messages are received and sent between two or more individuals. Communication involves exchange of ideas, or opinion, which could be in form oral or written form. On the other hand, communication involves a series of
