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). Cite the references you used to compose your
response (from required readings).
NUR 502 Grand Canyon Week 2 Discussion 2
What is the role of the Advanced Professional Nurse in creating an
ethical practice environment? Respond to this question, based on your selected
APN role.
NUR 502 Grand Canyon Week 3 Discussion 1
Discuss the value of nursing theory to the profession of nursing.
Identify one way in which you could use nursing theory to improve your practice
(present or future role). Provide a reference for your response.
NUR 502 Grand Canyon Week 3 Discussion 2
Read the AACN documents for essentials of baccalaureate versus
master’s education and identify the competencies that reflect use of theory and
knowledge. Compare and contrast the competencies for baccalaureate and master’s
level.
NUR 502 Grand Canyon Week 4 Discussion 1
Explain, in your own words, the difference between the three
paradigms: human needs, interactive, and unitary process. Which of these best
fits your philosophy of nursing?
NUR 502 Grand Canyon Week 4 Discussion 2
Select one of the grand or middle-range nursing theories. How does
the theory demonstrate evidence of the utilization of social, behavioral, or
bioscience theories?
NUR 502 Grand Canyon Week 5 Discussion 1
All nursing theories are developed in space and time, and are not
value free. Select one nursing theorist and explain the factors that influenced
development of the theory (history, scientific paradigm, and personal
experiences–mentoring, education, practice, other). Provide reference(s) for
your response.
NUR 502 Grand Canyon Week 5 Discussion 2
Select three theories and compare the definition of person/human
being. Comment regarding which definition best fits with your own thinking.
NUR 502 Grand Canyon Week 6 Discussion 1
Choose one of the middle-range theories. How could you use this
theory to direct care in a nursing unit if you were the manager? Share your
results
NUR 502 Grand Canyon Week 6 Discussion 2
Choose one of the middle-range theories. What impact would this
theory most likely have on your individual practice? Give specific examples.
NUR 502 Grand Canyon Week 7 Discussion 1
The influence of consequential ethics as an ethical framework (the
greatest good for the greatest number) opposes the ethical principle of
deontology (i.e., the rightness of an act itself determines what is right).
Both of these impact the nursing profession. Modern social exchange theories
are based on the principle of utility. Read the assumptions of social exchange
theory and consider how these would affect the nurse-patient relationship,
compared to how these impact the nurse within the health care environment. To
what extent are all theories ethical? Is social exchange theory compatible with
the values of the nursing profession?
NUR 502 Grand Canyon Week 7 Discussion 2
Which among the learning theories provided you with new
information? How would you apply this in your practice?

group’s posted report.

Collaborative Learning Community: Grand Nursing
Details:
This is a CLC assignment.
The purpose of this assignment is to have a clear understanding of
the elements of a theory and to apply a theory to practice. The CLC group must
use a grand theory or a high-level mid-range theory.
The group will create a report for a practice committee at a
health care institution. The objective is to convince your peers of the value
of using a specific theory to guide practice and evaluate care.
Since the text does not provide adequate information on any one
theory for the purpose of this assignment, further research through nursing
theory websites (general and specific), as well as theory texts specific to
individual theories, will be required.
Begin the assignment by identifying a theorist and providing the
rationale for the group’s selection.
