Assignment #2 Elements of Theory Assignment

Nursing Research

1.The section I have chosen is: Keeping a patient standing

2. The name of my theory is: Nightingales Theory of Standing

3. My theory is: Stopping a patient when he is walking around can do more harm than good.

He can fall while the nurse talks to him as it takes a lot of effort for him to stand.

4. My major concepts are: stand, fall, harm, patient, effort

5. My definitions are:

Stand: act of being erect and straight up, no resting for the body

Fall: body does not support standing any longer

Harm: not safe, hurtful

Patient: person who needs additional help to improve their health

Effort: extra energy being used to order to achieve something
