During nursing shift handover, you are informed by the previous shift nurse about one patient, as reported by nurses on the previous shift, had been difficult to work with, demanding the attention of staff throughout the shift. You visited that patient last during rounds so that additional time is available for an assessment. Upon entering the patient’s room, you asked the patient how is he feel about discharge and going home. The patient complained about a variety of minor concerns about his pending discharge. Accepting that the patient’s perceptions are unique and valid to him, and you try to spend a few minutes just listening. In the light of the above, answer the following questions: A. Use King’s Theory of Goal Attainment to illustrate how and why you would present the importance of actively involving patients in their care? B. Clarify the applicability of the theoretical concepts to daily advanced nursing practice? (please use the book in the attachment ) What are the concepts of this theory? Is there one major concept with sub-concepts organized under it? ?How many concepts are there? ? How many major (or minor) ones? Can the concepts be ordered, related? Arranged into any configuration? Are there concepts that cannot be interrelated? Are concepts broad in scope? Narrow? How abstract or empiric are the concepts broad in scope? Narrow? What is the balance between highly abstract and highly empiric are concepts? are defined? Which concepts are defined? The meaning for concepts within the theory. It questions how empiric experience is represented by the ideas within the theory. Which concepts are defined explicitly? Which are implied? ?How much meaning needs to be inferred? ?Which concepts are defined specifically? generally? Are there competing definitions for some concepts? Are there similar definitions for different concepts? Are any concepts defined contrary to the common convention?
