Comparing Broad- and Mid-Range Nursing Theories
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page paper discussing two nursing theories, one of which is broad, the other mid-range.

The purpose here is to compare a broad nursing theory with a mid-range one. The work of J. Travelbee represents the broad nursing theory. That of K.M. Swanson addresses mid-range issues.

Concept Analysis: Aging
[ send me this paper ]
A 20 page research paper that offers a nursing concept analysis on aging. As the percentage of the American population that is over the age of 65 increases with each passing year, there is more and more attention being paid to geriatric health care needs; and, in keeping with this trend, successful aging is a concept that is also garnering more attention. The importance of geriatric health care issues underlies the need to understand the concept of aging more fully and to describe in detail the differences that are inherent to successful/healthy aging as opposed to maladaptive aging (Flood, 2002). This concept analysis of aging endeavors to accomplish this purpose, as it describes how literature addresses the aging process and its implications. Bibliography lists 26 sources.

Concept of Community
[ send me this paper ]
In 4 pages, this paper discusses how the terms community and aggregate often are used interchangeably, and includes a discussion of whether a group constitutes a community or an aggregate illustrating that such use is not incorrect. Designing or evaluating nursing intervention efforts requires greater precision, however. The senior citizens at The Erie Center of Health and Aging form an appropriate aggregate within the local community of all senior citizens, but care for cancer or stroke patients can be much different than care or heart patients. These all form appropriate and legitimate aggregates of the larger population as well. All these patients share commonalities in the care that they need, but beneficial interventions also can greatly vary among these subgroups. Bibliography lists 6 sources.

Conflict Management Between MDs and Nurse Practitioners
