The last sentence of nursing situation is The essence of caring in this nursing situation is…….(compassion). Identifying one concept will enhance the clarity of your paper.

The Nursing Situation. (3 pages) First read the nursing situation from Module one (see attached) then reflect and write a closing sentence that begins: The essence of caring in this nursing situation is …(compassion)…. Nursing Situation with integration of multiple ways of knowing, call and response for nursing is 3 pages. 2. Theoretical Perspective (1 page) Select a caring theory studied in t his term (Watson, Boykin & Schoenhofer, Locsin, Ray, Parker & Barry, Swanson, Leininger, Marlaine Smith, or Duffy) and describe how it guided your nursing. Describe the essential concepts of the theory and explain how these concepts are present in your nursing situation. Essential concepts include the elements of thee metaparadigm: How did this theorist/theorists describe Person, nursing, caring, health. Manny times these concepts are not spelled out you may have to interpret them for the theorist work. Describe other concepts of the theory as well. Use primary sources (literature written by the theorist) to describe this theory as well as related sources written by others that explicate, extend or affirm the specific theoretical perspective. Use a minimum of 5 primary (books and literature written by theorists) and secondary references The focus of this paper is more on how the theory guided your practice versus describing the theory. For example if you used Watson’s theory you don’t describe all ten caritas processes you identify the ones in your nursing situation and how you used them. The theoretical perspective is approximately 1 page. 3. The Essence of Caring in the Nursing Situation Identify the central One-Word Caring concept ( the essence of caring) that was expressed in your selected nursing situation from Module 1. 4. Describe the identified caring concept by drawing upon sources from the literature and describe how the identified Caring Concept reflects the theoretical perspective used in your paper. While there is no magic number of reference sources needed to properly explicate the caring concept you have selected from Nursing Situation, a minimum of 3-4 sources is adequate to achieve the task effectively. For example if you chose Watson’s theory and your concept was Love then define how other nursing theorists define love. 7.
