It will also provide you with a fundamental understanding of Christian spirituality that looks to the union of body, mind, soul, and spirit, along with how those beliefs inform a unique ethical awareness and decision-making in professional practice.

After reading topic Resources, you will complete the “Worldview Analysis and Personal Inventory” document, which includes prompts related to the following:

• Christian perspective of the nature of spirituality and ethics
• Scientism and two of the main arguments against it
• Ultimate reality
• Nature (origin) of the universe
• What it means to be a human being and purpose in your existence
• What knowledge is and sources of knowledge
• Ethics and where the knowledge of right and wrong comes from
• Purpose of human life and existence
• Influence of personal worldview values in decision-making within current or future professional practice

Support your response using only Chapter 1 from the textbook Practicing Dignity: An Introduction to Christian Values and Decision-Making in Health Care and two other Topic 1 Resources.

In this discussion, you will develop an understanding of the purpose of theoretical and/or conceptual frameworks that support one’s research.

First, read these article to supplement the assigned readings.

• Ivey, J. (2015). . Pediatric Nursing, 1(3), 152-153.
• Heale, R., & Noble, H. (2019). Evidence-Based Nursing, 22(2), 3637.

Place the title of your chosen research proposal topic in the subject line of the discussion. Then discuss the following in your initial discussion post:

1. Briefly re-introduce, from Module 1, your research question and purpose/significance of your research. If you would like to modify your research question and expand on the significance you may do so.
2. Choose an article from your literature review that has a theoretical or conceptual framework that you think may be relevant to your research proposal to critique. In your critique:
   • Provide a full APA reference to the article
   • Explain the theoretical or conceptual framework of the study. Discuss whether the framework is based on a conceptual model of nursing or on a model developed by other specialties. In your opinion, is there adequate justification for the framework used in the research within the article?
   • Does the article adequately describe the major features of the theory/ model so that readers can understand the conceptual basis of the study? If not, what information could be added about the framework to support the research?
3. Explain why this theoretical or conceptual framework is relevant to your research proposal study.

Middle Range Theory Utilization & Application Paper

Goal:

Analyze and evaluate a middle range theory. You will select a middle range theory and identify application of nursing theories into clinical practice.

Content Requirements:

1. Components of the theory

• • Discuss the major concepts of the theory
  • Philosophical basis or worldview change, advancing health

1. Structural aspects of the theory

• • Discuss the framework of the theory.

1. Identify an area of your practice where this theory could be applicable

• • What question does the theory help to answer?
  • Describe the area of interest in relationship to the theory/theoretical model.
  • Is it appropriate for the practice setting and is it applicable?
  • Discuss the strength and weakness of the theory. If there is weakness, discuss what makes it difficult to be used in practice.

1. Use of theory in clinical practice.

• • Performing a literature review is essential to completing this section. If there is no literature available about the application of this theory in practice, address reason(s) why based on your findings.

1. Evaluation of theory

• • Is this theory used to understand and apply into practice?
  • What difficulties did you encounter or would anticipate encountering in using this theory?

• • What would make this theory more usable or applicable to practice?

Submission Instructions:

• The paper is to be clear and concise and students will lose points for improper grammar, punctuation and misspelling.
• The paper should be formatted per current APA and references should be current (published within last five years) scholarly journal articles or primary legal sources (statutes, court opinions.)
• The paper is to be 3 – 5 pages in length, excluding the title, abstract and references page.
• Incorporate a minimum of 3 current (published within last five years) scholarly journal articles or primary legal sources (statutes, court opinions) within your work. Journal articles and books should be referenced according to current APA style.

Research Problem:

Inconsistent use of evidence-based deprescribing practices for older adults with polypharmacy in primary care. This is a problem due to high prevalence of polypharmacy, lack of standardized deprescribing processes, patient safety concerns, advanced practice nurse role, and healthcare system impact. Research is needed to evaluate effective NP-led interventions that support systematic deprescribing and improve outcomes in older adults.

For this assignment, you will prepare a 3 to 4-page review of the literature pertinent to a selected problem for healthcare research and use that review to propose a methodology to address the problem.

1. Conduct a search of the literature relevant to the problem/topic. Identify a minimum of 4 references, most of which are peer-reviewed articles. Only one opinion article may be included.
2. Read the peer-reviewed articles with the focus of preparing a document that will compare and contrast the information in the articles you found. Copies of the articles used must be submitted with the final paper.
3. The reader of your literature review should be able to clearly identify the gaps in the knowledge in the problem area, as well as the purpose of the study you are proposing. The number of pages in this assignment should be no longer than 4 pages. You should be able to write enough to create an effective argument, but not so much that the result looks padded.
4. Prepare an Evidence Matrix using the template. .

Submission Instructions:

• The introduction is original work and logically organized.
