•    Reflect on the rationale for analyzing the theory you selected for this course project.
•    Evaluate any potential implications that the application of the nursing theory has to working with colleagues, patients/families, and/or communities.
Section 2: Conceptual Analysis of Theory (2 to 3 pages)
In Section 2 of this assignment, you will conduct a conceptual analysis of your chosen theory and link it to cases or practice examples. This will help you begin to define the connection between your chosen theory and real-world examples of its application.
In this section be sure that you:
•    Define the criteria under which the conceptual framework of the theory is most relevant.
•    Explain how a situation, experience, or event depicts a relevant real-world example of your nursing theory.
•    Analyze potential antecedents and consequences of the application of your chosen theory.
•    Relate the empirical referents for your theory and its practice application. Support these with references to research, case studies, or other professional sources.
Section 3: Critical Examination of Theory (2 to 3 pages)
In Section 3 of this assignment, you will conduct a critical examination of your chosen theory. This examination will help you to distill your chosen theory down into clear and simple tenets that can be more easily applied to your practice. You will also consider the accessibility and importance of the theory to your practice.
In this section be sure that you:
•    Create clear and simple statements that express the key tenets of your chosen theory.
•    Analyze how your statements fit the scope of the theory.
•    Justify how your statements are grounded in identifiable or measurable phenomena.
•    Justify how your created tenets lead to improvement in your own practice.
•    Recommend ways in which a nursing theory can be leveraged to promote collaboration with other professionals and to improve health care.
Section 4: Evaluation of Practice Tool or Intervention Protocol and Application to Personal Practice (2 to 3 pages)
In Section 4 of this assignment, you will identify and analyze an existing practice tool or intervention protocol that was derived from your chosen nursing theory. You will then examine ways to incorporate your chosen tool or protocol into your personal practice, and evaluate cultural, ethical, or legal considerations that utilizing the tool or protocol might bring up.
In this section be sure that you;
•    Describe a research-based practice tool or intervention protocol and what it helps a nurse to do or measure.
•    Analyze links between your chosen tool or protocol and your chosen theory.
•    Justify the use of the tool or protocol as a practice example of your chosen theory.
•    Propose strategies to integrate the use of the tool or intervention into your own practice.
•    Evaluate the degree to which your chosen tool or intervention enables you to be a culturally competent health care practitioner.
•    Analyze any relevant ethical, legal, or regulatory considerations that application of the tool or intervention has to your practice.
