• Topic I: Use the theory that you developed in Week Two. Improve it by using the information you have obtained in the subsequent weeks. Use the Conceptual-Theoretical-Empirical Model (CTE) to link the operational definitions with the empirical indicators with the theoretical concepts and the conceptual model components. Post your revised theory and explain how you would measure the concepts and proposition in a research study.
• Topic II: Link the theory you developed and Topic 1 mentioned above with the Metaparadigm of Nursing. Each of the elements of the Metaparadigm should be represented in your theory. Revise your theory if necessary to include each of the components of the Metaparadigm.
• Topic III: Ask five nurses the following question. Ask the question without explanation or expansion. Tell them you are doing a class project and need this question answered. There are no right or wrong answers.
"What is the purpose of nursing?"
Ask five lay persons the exact same question in the same manner. Summarize your findings and report to the class. Albeit an abbreviate one, but nonetheless a qualitative study.
• Topic IV: Use any resources that you can find and identify the differences between nursing practice and advanced practice nursing. Support advanced practice nursing by identifying nursing theories that can be applied to advanced practice nursing.
• Topic V: Identify the unique purpose of nursing that is NOT performed by any other profession. What do nurses do that no other profession or discipline is dedicated to perform? Identify this concept and link it to a concept in any theoretical framework.
