Course
NR 501 Theoretical Basis For Advanced Nursing Practice
Purpose
This assignment provides the opportunity for the student to complete an analysis of a concept found in the nurse practitioner role supported by a nursing theory using an identified process. The assignment fosters analytical thinking related to the selected concept as well as its application within the profession.
Course Outcomes
This assignment enables the student to meet the following course outcomes:
CO 1: Demonstrate logical and creative thinking in the analysis and application of a theory to nursing practice. (PO 2, 5)
CO 4: Analyze theories from nursing and relevant fields with respect to the components, relationship among the components, and the application to advanced nursing practice. (PO 1)
Due Date
Sunday 11:59 PM MT at the end of Week 3. Students are expected to submit assignments by the time they are due. Assignments submitted after the due date and time will receive a deduction of 10% of the total points possible for that assignment for each day the assignment is late. Assignments will be accepted, with a penalty as described, up to a maximum of three days late, after which point a zero will be recorded for the assignment.
When the assignment is placed in the dropbox, it will automatically be submitted to Turnitin. You may submit the assignment one additional time before the due date to lower the Turnitin score. If you choose to resubmit, the second submission will be considered final and subject to grading. Once the due date for the assignment passes, you may not resubmit to lower a Turnitin score.
Total Points Possible
This assignment is worth 175 points.
Requirements
This assignment presents a modified method for conducting a concept analysis of one concept that is important and useful to the nurse practitioner’s role. The concept for this assignment must be supported by a published nursing theory. The selected concept is identified, and then the elements of the analysis process are applied in order to synthesize knowledge for application, as demonstrated through the creation of a model case. Theoretical applications of the concept are also discussed. Non-nursing theories may not be used. Scholarly literature is incorporated throughout the analysis.
Only the elements identified in this assignment should be used for this concept analysis.
Possible Concepts: The following concepts are not required; students may select one of these concepts or find another concept. Each selected concept must be associated with a nursing theory; the use of non-nursing theories is not allowed. If you have any questions regarding your concept or the nursing theory, please consult with your faculty member for assistance. Please note: the concepts of caring, burnout, or cultural humility are not permitted for this assignment.

Criteria for Content
1. Definition/Explanation of the selected nursing concept
- Defines/explains the concept using scholarly literature (a dictionary maybe used for this section only)
- Support from nursing literature is required.
2. Defining attributes:
- A minimum of three (3) attributes are required.
- Support from nursing literature is required.
Explanation: An attribute identifies the characteristics of a concept. For this question, the characteristics of the selected nursing concept are identified and discussed.
3. Antecedent and Consequence
- 1 antecedent of the selected nursing concept.
- 1 consequence of the selected nursing concept.
- Support from nursing literature is required.
Explanation: An antecedent is an identifiable occurrence that happens before an event. An antecedent precedes a selected nursing concept. A consequence follows or is the result of an event. The selected consequence follows or is the result of the selected nursing concept.
4. Model Case
- 1 Model Case is created by the student and discussed substantively by demonstrating within the case each of the following areas:
- Definition
- All identified attributes
5. Theoretical Applications of the Concept
- Explain how the concept applies to the selected nursing theory.
- Support from nursing literature is required.
6. Reflection
- Reflect on how the concept analysis findings apply to your advanced nursing practice, specifically as an NP.
- Self-reflection may be written in first-person.
Preparing the Assignment
Criteria for Format and Special Instructions
- The worksheet should be typed, double spaced, and written in complete sentences. (Concept Analysis Worksheet)Links to an external site.
- Reference page and in-text citations must follow APA guidelines as found in the current edition of the manual.
- The source of the concept for this assignment must be a published nursing Non-nursing theories may not be used.
- A minimum of 4 (four) scholarly references must be used. Required textbooks for this course and Chamberlain College of Nursing lesson information may not be used as scholarly references for this assignment. A dictionary may be used as a reference for the section titled “Definition/Explanation of the selected nursing concept.” Still, it is not counted as one of the 4 required scholarly nursing references. Be aware that information from .com websites may be incorrect and should be avoided.
- References are current – within a 5-year time frame unless a valid rationale is provided and the instructor has approved them.
- Ideas and information from scholarly, peer-reviewed nursing sources must be cited and referenced correctly.
- Rules of grammar, spelling, word usage and punctuation are followed and consistent with formal, scientific writing.
- Please note: Do not rely on .com sites to identify the nursing theory as they do not provide accurate information in all cases.
SOLUTION
Concept analysis has been called a “catalyst” for new theoretical frameworks. A concept’s existing understanding as well as any gaps or divergences in the body of disciplinary knowledge are the focus of a concept analysis. It helps bring clarity as it applies to a certain occurrence, being a predecessor to theory and knowledge growth which may eventually enhance practice (Cronin, Ryan, Coughlan, 2010). (Cronin, Ryan, Coughlan, 2010). In this article, I’ll talk about how caring is used in nursing, using Jean Watson’s Theory of Human Science and Human Caring. The notion of care will be defined and explained, and a literature study in support of the concept will be presented. Care shall be defined in terms of three distinct characteristics. The study will also present empirical referents for the idea of caring and explain an antecedent, a consequence of the concept.….please click the icon below to purchase the solution at $15
