Week 9 Concept Map
Purpose:
The purpose of this assignment is intended to allow the student to show evidence of achievement of the following course objectives:
Explain how the advanced practice nurse applies and integrates broad, organizational, client-centered, and culturally appropriate concepts in the planning, delivery, management, and evaluation of evidence-based clinical prevention and population care and services to individuals, families, and aggregated/identified populations.
Apply theory and research-based knowledge from nursing, the arts, humanities, and other sciences
Critique nursing conceptual models and theories and their impact on advanced practice nursing
Description:
Continue to develop your concept map visualization as next week you will be posting it for peer review for the Week 9 Discussion. This week you will use information from your literature search to help in the process as you align your concept with a nursing theory.
Discuss findings from the literature search – citing as appropriate and including a reference page with your assignment paper.
Must have at least 3 articles from a peer-reviewed journal – discussed and cited within your paper.
Is the concept used in a similar way?
Which nursing theory best fits your personal nursing concepts? Explain how you came to this decision.
Consider aspects of the related work that would strengthen your concept map.
Working from the revised map, add in additional concepts and factors as appropriate or desired.
Requirements:
This assignment needs to be submitted following APA format (title page, headings, reference page, etc.). Citations from References that are synthesized from the assigned article, course text, evidence-based and peer-reviewed research articles, and other credible sources are required. A minimum of 3 resources are used. References must be current within 5 years.
This assignment will be submitted below through Canvas and automatically run through TurnItIn. Course faculty monitor for the compliance of citations with Turnitin evaluation of the assignment during the course session.

Final Concept Map – Paper
Purpose:
The purpose of this assignment is intended to allow the student to show evidence of the following course objectives:
Explain how the advanced practice nurse applies and integrates broad, organizational, client-centered, and culturally appropriate concepts in the planning, delivery, management, and evaluation of evidence-based clinical prevention and population care and services to individuals, families, and aggregated/identified populations.

Apply theory and research-based knowledge from nursing, the arts, humanities, and other sciences
Description:
Students will write a paper applying and integrating the information written about the concept map you have worked on throughout the course. You should finalize the concept map by identifying and discussing a nursing theory and a systems theory to an appropriate clinical practice situation common to advanced nursing care. You will also need to select an appropriate nursing intervention that would aid in using the selected theories to demonstrate appropriate applications of the nursing theories. It is strongly recommended you use the nursing theory previously identified for the Concept Map assignment. You will be adding a systems theory to this final paper. The paper will demonstrate how systems theory and nursing theories are used in the design, delivery, and evaluation in healthcare. Students will also evaluate how these theories can be utilized to deliver care to diverse populations.
See the attached rubric for grading details.
Requirements:
This assignment is due by Day 5 (Sunday) at midnight EST and must be added to Canvas on the date assigned unless you have made different arrangements with your instructor prior to the beginning of class on that day. Failure to meet these requirements will result in a grade of zero (0) for that course assignment.
This assignment needs to be submitted following APA format (title page, headings, reference page, etc.). Citations from References that are synthesized from the assigned article, course text, evidence-based and peer-reviewed research articles, and other credible sources are required. A minimum of 3 resources are used. References must be current within 5 years.
This assignment will be submitted below through Canvas and automatically run through TurnItIn. Course faculty monitor for the compliance of citations with Turnitin evaluation of the assignment during the course session. If your originality score is above 10-15%, check to make sure that all similarities are properly cited and/or go back and paraphrase to lower your percentage. You may resubmit your paper if needed, however, keep in mind that it may take 24 hours for your second attempt to be scored, which would affect your ability to turn your paper in on the due date. My advice would be to try to submit the paper a day or two early to allow time to resubmit if needed. Please click here for more information on TurnItIn
