NUR 502 Theoretical Foundations for Nursing Roles
And Practice
Week 6 Assignment: Applying Theory to a Practice Problem:
Part 2: Application of Middle-Range Theory to Problem
Grand Canyon University
Purpose:
It is important to understand how middle-range theory can help you in your
everyday environment as a nurse. In the previous assignment, you identified a
practical problem that emerged from the evidence in the extant literature or
professional practice. In this assignment, you will explore and apply middle-range
theory to solve the specific problem that you identified in the previous assignment.
Directions:
Consider the problem that you described in the previous assignment and the
instructor feedback about that assignment.
Write a paper (1,000 to 1,500 words) that describes how middle-range theory can
be applied to the identified problem. The paper should include the following:
1. A brief summary of the problem.
2. A description of a middle-range theory that could be applied to the problem.
Is this middle-range theory appropriate to your identified problem?
3. A brief discussion of the middle-range theory's origins.
4. A discussion of how the middle-range theory has been previously applied.
5. A discussion of the application of the middle-range theory to the identified
problem. How would your practice change by incorporating this theory?
