Book

Nursing theory : utilization & application / [edited by] Martha Raile Alligood.

Summary:

Divided into three parts -- Conceptualization, application, and expansion -- Nursing Theory: Utilization & Application outlines the evolution of nursing theory, demonstrates how to apply these models and philosophies to practice, and anticipates the future with the expansion of theory-based practice. As a companion to Nursing Theorists and their work, this textbook provides students with the oppurtunity to apply what they have learned to nursing practice through various patient scenarios. Featured in the fourth edition: Explores the moral and ethical side of nursing practice and specific nursing duties, distinguishing itself from other theory textbooks. Includes updated nursing application examples that promote evidence-based practice by providing real-life scenarios. Provides case histories that demonstrate how to apply theory to the clinical side of nursing. Includes updated conceptualization chapters that address the benefits and cautions associated with evidence-based practice and illustrate the importance of praxis--a dynamic process in which theory and practice unite. Challenges students with updated critical thinking exercises that require a high level of analysis and reflect advanced nursing practice.
