Practice Setting and Theories

Practice Setting and Theories

Which of the theories we covered so far best fits the practice setting you work in or that you are interested in working? What aspect of the theory makes it well-suited for your practice setting? Reflect on how the PICO model fits at your place of practice.

Use the six criteria from this competency’s readings from Fundamentals of Nursing Models, Theories, and Practice as a guide for this segment of the reflection. You can access these readings within the Theoretical Application in the Practice folder.

Select a practice/clinical setting.

Use the following six criteria to select a theory appropriate for the setting you chose:

• Clinical setting
• Origin of the theory
• Paradigms as a basis for choice
• Simplicity
• Patient’s needs
• Understandability

Explain what practice or clinical setting you chose, how the six criteria helped you choose, and why the selected theory is well-suited to it.
