The role of nursing theory in contemporary nursing practice?

Depends on the specific theory. If, for example, you take Orem's theory of self-care then contemporary nursing practice would include an assessment of the patient's needs, existing ability to meet those needs, self-care deficits, goals, interventions and outcomes. Different theories require different nursing approaches and provide structure and guidance for nursing practice.

Based on this and your other 2 questions, this sounds suspiciously like you're trying to get others to do your homework for you. You know, the whole point of your assignments is to get you thinking and to teach you how to research information on your own in addition to learning.

Thanks for choosing my answer as the best one. Since you were stuck, you're forgiven. But remember that you're also developing your critical thinking -- applying what you learn to new situations and taking things a step further. Report It
