Nursing theory starts with ideas about what nursing is and what nursing does. Master’s prepared nurses then use nursing theory to improve the care that nurses provide with the goal of ultimately improving healthcare outcomes. As nursing theory evolves and expands through research and practice, nursing science and the discipline of nursing matures. Throughout this course, nursing theory has been examined from a variety of perspectives. The importance of nursing theory to advanced nursing roles has been explored.


create a presentation using Powerpoint presentation. Your presentation will bring together the conceptual framework/grand nursing theory, theoretical model, and middle or practice theory that best fits your concept of advanced nursing practice related to your role after graduation. You will evaluate nursing theory and ethical decision making to assess, intervene in, and evaluate care.

Slide 1: Title Slide

The Integrated Framework: Guiding Advanced Nursing Practice

Applying Theory and Ethics to the Family Nurse Practitioner Role

[Your Name] [Your Program/University] [Date]

Slide 2: Introduction and Purpose

Advanced Practice Nursing: Program Track and Purpose

Introduction: The Future FNP

Program Track: Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP)

Nursing Philosophy: Holistic, preventative, and patient-centered primary care across the lifespan.

Purpose of Presentation

This presentation aims to demonstrate how established conceptual frameworks (Grand Theories), targeted research models (Middle-Range Theory), and ethical decision-making principles integrate to form a cohesive, evidence-based foundation for advanced nursing practice. The goal is to move theory from abstract concept to actionable clinical intervention.

Slide 3: Grand Nursing Theory and Worldview

Conceptual Foundation: Florence Nightingale's Environmental Theory

Core Alignment

Theory Focus: The primary goal of nursing is to place the patient in the best possible condition for nature to act, achieved by manipulating the patient's internal and external environments.

Alignment with FNP Philosophy: This theory aligns with the FNP’s focus on prevention and modifiable risk factors. It views the patient holistically, recognizing that health outcomes are fundamentally tied to factors like diet, sanitation, ventilation, noise, and access to clean water.

Worldview: This perspective is fundamentally contextual and ecological, asserting that illness is often a consequence of environmental deficiencies, and health is restored by optimizing the patient's surroundings.

Application to Advanced Practice

As an FNP, this theory guides the holistic assessment to go beyond immediate symptoms and identify environmental barriers to wellness (e.g., assessing home safety, quality of sleep, food security, and neighborhood violence, rather than just medication lists).
