In your group, write a report on the chosen theorist/theory that 150.0includes the following: 1. Introduction: Identify the theorist and rationale for the selection. 2. Describe the theorist (short biography and major influences on the theorist). 3. Indicate the category under which the theorist falls (can use McEwen & Wills classification or other source). 4. Incorporate assumptions underlying the theory (including how metaparadigm concepts are defined). 5. Include major concepts of the theory. 6. Include major propositions of the theory. 7. Provide examples from the literature of how the theory has been used. 8. Describe how the theory will be integrated into practice at your institution (or how it will be used as a foundation, framework, etc.). This is an action plan. 9. Give concrete examples of how theory would be integrated (e.g., assessment guide) and what patient outcomes could be measured as a result of implementing the theory. 10. Conclusion: Contrast present practice with what would take place if the theory were guiding the practice. Prepare this assignment according to the guidelines found in the GCU APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center. An abstract is not required. This assignment uses a rubric. Please review the rubric prior to beginning the assignment to become familiar with the expectations for successful completion. Have one member of the CLC post the Grand Theorist Report in the Module 8 Discussion Forum. You are not required to submit this assignment to Turnitin. Discussion Questions Topic 7 DQ 2 Which among the learning theories provided you with new information? How would you apply this in your practice? 5.0 Topic 7 DQ 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 5.0health care environment. To what extent are all theories ethical? Is social exchange theory compatible with the values of the nursing profession?

In the previous assignment, you identified a practical problem that emerged from the evidence in the extant literature or professional practice, and you explored how middle-range theory could be applied to solve the problem. In this assignment, you will explore and apply borrowed theory to solve the specific problem that you identified previously, and you will synthesize the applications of the middle-range theory and the borrowed theory into the most appropriate solution to the problem. DIRECTIONS: 150.0Consider the problem that you described in the previous assignments and the instructor feedback about those assignments. Write a paper (1,750 to 2,000 words) that describes how borrowed theory can be applied to the identified problem. The paper should include the following: 1. A brief summary of the problem including the potential middle-range theory that could be applied. 2. A description of a borrowed theory that could be applied to the problem. Is this borrowed theory appropriate to your identified problem? 3. A brief history of the borrowed theory's origins. 4. A discussion of how the borrowed theory has been previously applied. 5. A discussion of the application of the borrowed theory to the identified problem. How would your practice change by incorporating this theory? 6. A discussion of how application of both the borrowed theory and the middle-range theory can be integrated to create the most appropriate solution to the identified problem. Prepare this assignment according to the guidelines found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center. An abstract is not required. This assignment uses a rubric. Please review the rubric prior to beginning the assignment to become familiar with the expectations for successful completion. You are required to submit this assignment to Turnitin. Discussion Questions Topic 8 DQ 1 1. Individually, comment on at least three reports posted by other CLC teams by the end of Topic 8. Provide substantive comments that include a focus on the application of the theory as a framework for practice (general or specific, basic or advanced). 2. As a group, respond to all posts directed towards your CLC group's posted report. 5.0 Topic 8 DQ 2 Comment on the usefulness of Benner's work in your present or future role.
