APPLICATION OF SELECTED THEORY TO PRACTICE (Case Study)
Hildegard Peplau: Interpersonal Relations Theory
The purpose of this assignment is to demonstrate the application of a nursing theory/model to practice. The case study should be about a patient you have cared for or can be a fictitious patient you can make up (much easier if it is a real example).
ASSIGNMENT
1. You will choose a theory to apply to your case study. It should be a different theory than the one you chose for your personal philosophy paper or your group project.
2. The preference is for a middle-range theory.
• Your paper should begin with an introductory paragraph not an abstract. (This should give a brief overview of your discussion of the theory and makes the reader want to continue to read.)
• You must briefly explain the theory including key concepts and definitions.
• You then need to walk through your case study (patient example) and apply your chosen theory to the concepts of the nursing process (especially focus on assessment and interventions).
• Explain and use examples of how the theory guides those phases of the nursing process.
• You will need to end with an evaluation of the applicability of the theory to practice.
3. This paper needs 3 references, one being a peer-reviewed journal article.
4. The body of your paper should be 5 pages and include a title page (1 page) and
reference list (1 page). However, the final count for the paper is 7 pages.
