Explain how theoretical frameworks influence advance.

Where Did the Theory Come From ** I chose theorist Dorethea E. Orem**

This Assignment addresses this course outcome:

MN502-2: Explain how theoretical frameworks influence advance.

Purpose

The purpose of this Assignment is to explore how a theorist explicates his or her philosophy and thoughts behind a theoretical field. As in other fields of study, nursing has a plethora of theorists and theories. These theorists have developed their paradigm over time enriching it with research and dialogue with other theorists.

Directions

You are going to explore how a theorist of your choice created his or her theory. Did it develop as an acorn becoming a mighty oak over the decades? Did it arrive as a burst of light like the big bang as some believe created our universe? Was it developed from a blueprint like a spaceship where thousands of scholars worked together to create a rocket to the moon? In point of fact, how is a theory developed? This is what we are exploring.

You will pick a theorist who interests you, it does not have to be a nurse theorist. You may also choose from other disciplines such as: behavioral, leadership, business, education, technology.

You will become the theorist immersing yourself in the writings from the earliest mentioned to the most current.

As you read, look at how you (taking on the persona of the theorist) developed the theory.

In the first stage, theorizing occurs. This is where you, as the theorist, identify the concepts of what nursing is and is not. Perhaps you questioned what concepts were guiding those in nursing practice and then started to question your role. You started asking yourself, “Where am I in nursing, and where the profession is going? Is there some overarching concept that guides the professional in his or her practice?” This is where you recognize that a theory is needed.

In the second stage, syntax is developed. This is where you will define the terms. Look for changing definitions of terms. Consider, for example, Jean Watson. She starts by defining the word “caring.” Within the last ten years she has refined her terminology changing the term caring to caritas. This demonstrates a growth and maturation from decades of research she and other scholars did to produce the theory of caring.

The third stage is theory testing. Defined as the phenomena behind the theory that are exposed through research. The definitions of terms are refined. The theorists and other researchers consider whether this theory helps answer questions that arise in practice. This is where your theory is used in by a widening group of researchers. For example, graduate nursing students request the tool you developed while testing your theory.

The fourth and last stage is evaluation. This is where philosophical debate occurs as the concepts are applied through evidenced based practice in the act of providing nursing care.

Assignment Details

For this Assignment, you are going to write an article for a nursing journal explaining how you developed your theory through the four stages (theorizing, syntax, theory testing, and evaluation). Your paper must be 3 to 5 pages, not including the title and reference pages.

How organizational processes give rise to potential failures?

As a team consider the following scenario:

On December 7, 2000, the Cincinnati OSHA Office heard through media and police reports that there were two deaths at a nursing home in Ohio. OSHA determined that the FDA should take a lead role in performing an investigation.

Since the nursing home had many residents who had unhealthy respiratory systems, the nursing home routinely ordered and received tanks that contained pure oxygen. During one delivery, the supplier mistakenly delivered one tank of pure nitrogen in addition to the three tanks of pure oxygen that had been ordered. The nitrogen tank had both an oxygen and nitrogen label. An employee at the nursing home connected the nitrogen tank to the nursing home’s oxygen delivery system. This event caused two nursing home residents to die, and three additional nursing home residents were admitted to hospitals in critical condition. Within the following month, two of these three additional residents also died, bringing the total death toll to four. 

(Based on accident # 837914 from www.osha.gov)

    • How organizational processes give rise to potential failures?
    • How can certain conditions influence errors and violations within the workplace? (e.g., operating room, pharmacy, intensive care unit)
    • The errors and violations committed by “sharp end” individuals.
    • How the breaching of defenses or safeguards affect these accidents?
  • Explain why the FDA, not OSHA, was responsible for investigating this case. 
  • Explain how the Culture of Safety model could have been applied to reduce risk in this scenario. 
  • Explain the five general principles used in the Culture of Safety model.
  • Explain actions that could have been taken to manage risk by applying each of the five general principles used in the Culture of Safety model to this scenario.

How do you feel if you or your loved one is being cared for by a nurse who lacks clinical judgment, and what will you do?

I am sharing some research findings below pertaining to drastic decline of graduate NCLEX competency, that they call it a CRISIS!

“NCSBN research have indicated that 50% of novice nurses were involved in errors of nursing and 65% of the errors were due to poor clinical decision making skills (Muntean, 2013; https://www.ncsbn.org/11436.htm). Another research by Kavanagh and Szweda (2017), measured the entry level clinical judgment of thousands of new graduates and discovered that only 23% were at the level needed for safe patient care. This is down from 34% reported by another research (Del Bueno, 2005). Some are calling this a crisis — a crisis in new graduate competency”. 

References:

In the discussion board, write down your opinion regarding this very important topic, by answering the following:

1. Do you agree or disagree that present nursing graduates clinical competency is as low as the research reveal? Explain your answer.

2. How do you feel if you or your loved one is being cared for by a nurse who lacks clinical judgment, and what will you do?

3. Are you clinically competent to assume the role of a registered nurse in a medical surgical floor?

Extra 2 points will be added in your Exam 5 for answering the above questions in well written sentences with references if needed.

What is the impact to the nursing profession and to the public related to the projected nursing shortage?

Please do a paragraph about this post with this instruction .

post most have 4 or more sentences .

you also have to have a high quality post from a content perspective. This means it also needs to do more than agree with or praise a class mate. If you agree with a classmate, explain why, give an example, share what you learned in the readings, ask questions of each other, etc.

What is the impact to the nursing profession and to the public related to the projected nursing shortage? Discuss at least one way that the nursing profession is working toward a resolution of this problem

The nursing shortage affords opportunity, but there are consequences, too. Nurses often need to work long hours under stressful conditions, which can result in fatigue , injury , and job dissatisfaction. Nurses suffering in these environments are more prone to making mistakes and medical errors. Patient quality can suffer.

Due to increasing stress from the nursing shortage, health care organizations across the United States and Canada are feeling pressure to quickly improve their recruitment and retention techniques. Reports correlating nurse staff levels to quality of care are proving that the staffing crisis is directly effecting patients.

A range of solutions has been offered as a way to solve the nursing shortage problem that include subsidized funding, wage increases, hiring minority and foreign nurses, and campaigns to improve the profession’s image.

RN wages must rise in the future to end the RN shortage. Inflation-adjusted wages must increase 3.2–3.8 percent per year between 2002 and 2016, with wages cumulatively rising up to 69 percent, to end the shortage. Total RN expenditures would more than double by 2016.
