Online Discussion
Weekly Discussion Guidelines and Instructions:
For this course, faculty will post questions to the Discussion Forum. Each discussion forum includes participation requirements within the syllabus. Student responses should be substantive and reflect student thoughts and critical thinking related to the discussion topic. Citing references to reading assignments and other professional resources to validate student understanding of the discussions are required. Listing references and citing references must be according to American Psychological Association (APA).
Students must provide citations and references for the initial posting and the final posting. Please use APA for references and citations. Students must always apply assigned readings plus other professional readings. Students will also have citations in the text of their responses as well as references at the end of their responses. References for other professional readings need to be current, within the last three to five years.
Students must post a minimum of twice (an initial posting and at least one additional posting) per Discussion Board:
1. Make initial (student’s original post-not copied or based on another student’s post) post by 11:59 pm Eastern Time Thursday. The initial post is one post that includes responses to every weekly discussion board question listed. Questions to peers to deepen the discussion may be included in the initial post.
2. Respond to at least one other classmate’s post by 11:59 pm Eastern Time Sunday. The response to classmate post may be included in the final post.
American Psychological Association (APA) is required for writing, citing, and referencing. Please post a response specific to each of the questions listed. Students must address each component of each question. Please respond by addressing each question/item individually. For example:
1. State the provided question or statement to be addressed.
Write your response to the stated question or statement using APA format.
2. State the provided question or statement to be addressed.
Write your response to the stated question or statement using APA format.
Module Two Discussion Questions Design:
Module Two Discussion questions (listed below) are stated broadly to incorporate synthesis of information from the textbook as well as additional professional literature (research based, peer-reviewed, and such). The hope is to expand the mind to explore and share great exploratory thoughts based on literature at a graduate level.
The focus is to open with a broad base of how nursing diagnosis, nursing therapeutic taxonomies, evolution of nursing theories, and evidence-based practice connect and further nursing knowledge as well as the discipline of nursing (question one [1]). To thoroughly answer question one, use current professional literature.
After a broad discussion tying in nursing theory, move to discussion of grand theories (questions two [2]and three [3]). After discussion of grand theories move to discussion of middle-range theories (question four [4]), and comparison of grand and middle-range nursing theories (questions five [5], and six [6]) . To thoroughly answer questions two through six, use current professional literature and required textbooks.
If accessing the original source of a nursing theory, the year of the nursing theory creation may be older than “within the last 3-5 years.” Otherwise, all other professional literature needs to be within the last 3-5 years.
Please write thorough responses to each of the six questions listed below for Module 2 Discussion Board:
1. Identify how the development of nursing diagnosis and nursing therapeutic taxonomies contribute to advancing nursing knowledge. Identify how the support for evidence-based practice is an indication of progress in the nursing discipline.
2. Describe grand nursing theory. Give 2 examples of grand nursing theories.
3. Discuss the impact of grand nursing theories on patient care.
4. Describe middle range nursing theory. Give two (2) examples of middle range nursing theories.
5. Describe how middle range nursing theory differs from grand nursing theory.
6. Discuss the impact of middle range nursing theories as compared to grand nursing theories on patient care.
