There is a strong relationship between nursing theory, research, and practice. Nursing theory is foundational to nursing research and practice, and theory is also informed and developed by the results of research and practice. Nurses may select a theory to describe or explain phenomena encountered in practice, and during application in practice the theory is further defined. Nurse researchers test theories’ applicability in practice through clinical research, and nurse scientists develop new theories to explain research findings.
Directions
In this assignment, you will identify a grand nursing theory used in a research article and a middle-range nursing theory used in a research article. You will examine how each theory was applied within the research study and then analyze the utility of grand and middle-range nursing theories to advance the discipline of nursing and its impact upon your advanced nursing practice.
Assignment Details
Introduce the reader to the content of this paper with an introductory paragraph.
Provide general background information about grand, middle and practice theories.
Examine a research article in which a Grand Nursing Theory was applied in the research. Describe how the theoretical concepts and propositions were used.
Examine a research article in which a Middle Range Nursing theory was applied in the research. Describe if the theory was used as a descriptive, explanatory, predictive, or prescriptive theory in the research.
Explain the importance of theory to your advanced nursing role and how research informs and advances the discipline of nursing.

After examining Jacques’ soliloquy from William Shakespeare’s As You Like It – summarize your interpretation of the soliloquy in three to five complete sentences on the Padlet discussion.
Overview
William Shakespeare certainly had a point of view about Theatre and how it imitates life. He often commented on it directly in his plays. This shows how much Theatre was a part of life then and continues to reflect back what we as society experience. Shakespeare was a master of the SoliloquyLinks to an external site.. Similar to an actor’s monologueLinks to an external site., characters in William Shakespeare’s plays often shared what was on their mind to others, and sometimes even to themselves, which is a theatrical convention that we, as audiences, just accept as theatre-goers even though it may not directly imitate life.
The character of Jacques, in William Shakespeare’s play, As You Like ItLinks to an external site., is often credited with being melancholic, and a philosopher. His soliloquy has a deeper meaning.

Chan creates a society that mimics our own, but she includes training centers fo
Chan creates a society that mimics our own, but she includes training centers for mothers and fathers who have been deemed unfit parents. In our society, one can find reports or news articles about children being taken away from their caregivers, but if a mother is at the center of the story, she is often the object of speculation and, possibly, contempt.
Chan also emphasizes the inclusion of gathering data, with the intention to “…eliminate human error. Decisions would be made more efficiently. They’d be able to correct subjectivity or bias, implement a set of universal standards” (20-21). She also describes the use of data when the mothers are introduced to their dolls (Chan 102-103).
The collection of data could be a contrast to the human intervention and judgment by the social workers, judges, and instructors of the training. However, human “intervention” must analyze the data for whatever outcomes, and, in this case, whether the mothers are fit to be mothers.
The data, in some ways, as well as the decision makers portrayed the mothers as villains with the expectation that “[a] mother is always patient. A mother is always kind. A mother is always giving. A mother never falls apart. A mother is the buffer between her child and the cruel world” (Chan 115-116).
How do you think the data (this could be from earlier recordings of Frida or the dolls), the barrage of rules in the training, the interference of decision makers, or the difference between how the mothers and fathers are treated contribute to the unrealistic expectations of mothering or motherhood?
Include sentence(s) from the story to support your ideas.

In this comparative essay, you will analyze and compare how filmic adaptations e
In this comparative essay, you will analyze and compare how filmic adaptations embody a key theme, issue, character or other singular focus from a literary text. In this three page essay (not including Works Cited), you will analyze Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and their filmic adaptations. Once you’ve picked a story narrative, you will then need to note a singular change found in the text (short story/novel) and each filmic adaptation.
To help you find the larger purpose for this change, you should ask “what does [text] say about [theme/issue] and how is that represented in the adaptations”?
If you follow Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, you would need to discuss the 1964 children’s book and the two films: 1971 and 2005.
As an example, I might explore “fatphobia” as a theme in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. I would need to establish that this is a theme in the text and then explore how the 1971 film and 2005 film portray fatphobia. I would need a clear claim, such as:
“Despite a more modern approach, the 2005 Charlie and the Chocolate Factory uses similar filmic elements as the 1971 Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory to portray fatness as inherently bad”
“Both filmic adaptations further the theme of “fatness” as inherently bad through their portrayal of Augustus.”
The 2005 Charlie and the Chocolate Factory provides a better version of Augustus by playing on the audience’s expectations of “fatness.”
Rhetorical Situation
Audience: Professors within the HU/COM department
Task: Analyze and compare the treatment of a singular adaptive element (theme, issue, character, etc) and its representation in two filmic adaptations
Context: You can assume that readers will know of the artifacts, but may have not seen or read them in some time.
Purpose: Identify and discuss trends between an original artifact and it’s adaptations and argue why these differences matter.
Essay Structure and Minimum Requirements:
Must include an engaging title, intro, at least two body paragraphs, and a conclusion
Provide and follow a clear, engaging thesis, supported by topic sentences
Create a Works Cited (may be attached at end or on new page – up to you!)
Use MLA formatting throughout
Effectively and ethically uses textual evidence (from class texts and films) to support your claims
Do not use outside sources – this is a close analysis essay!
Have 3 double-spaced pages, 12 pt. Times New Roman black font
Clearly identify the theme/issue in the artifact and explore two filmic adaptations
Implement an effective organization strategy (suggestion: dedicate one body paragraph per film)
Student Learning Outcomes this Achieves:
Recognize the relationship between particular cultures and their artifacts; for example, understand the relationship between the dominant values of the cultures and the revolutionary quality of artifacts that challenge these cultures.
Understand the humanities as a record of what the culture values.
Recognize themselves as part of a cultural tradition, as inheritors and contributors to it.
Extend their critical thinking skills through examining and discussing primary texts.
Extend their writing skills through a variety of interpretive writing assignment.
Note: I uploaded an a file down to see an example outline from my professor and how you can do this essay but don’t use the same thesis that are written in this file because my friends wrote them not me. Also, don’t use any AI at all.

t’s less about regurgitation of facts and more about showing understanding of the concepts. All of the essays may be written in either first person or third person, as instruction or a piece of short fiction. You may even dovetail all three answers into one another as part of a grander narrative.
Someone on the campus (a friend, a professor, etc.) has passed from this earthly realm a year ago. They were an expert in their field. As an animist, and someone at least slightly trained in spirit work, you have become aware of their presence on the campus (perhaps in a good way, or perhaps in a bad way). You have the sense that, however their spirit is manifesting, that they would probably like to be of help to the living. In an essay, or very short story, where you explain your worldview, the different kinds of spirits, and how they interact with this world, explain how you handle this situation.
Societal collapse is happening – an unstable, unsustainable economy, combined with environmental disasters, pandemics, and increasing foreign conflicts arising over resources means the world has become a very dangerous place. That’s the bad news. The good news: You are well armed with an understanding of Greco-Roman philosophy, especially theurgic Neoplatonism. Describe to me what you’re going to do (or attempt to do) to ameliorate the horrors the world is facing and, perhaps, to fix the situation in the long term.
Society stumbles on, but with a much-reduced population. Cities are fewer and smaller and society is mostly agrarian. You are the head of a small, autonomous collective of like-minded individuals, but as resources are thin, you find it harder and harder for yourselves and the communities around you to get by. More and more people are turning to you for guidance and you are at wits end on how to help them. Until one day he shows up. A former teacher, who has gone rather blind in one eye, offers to teach you the forgotten arts of galdr and seidhcraft. At least, you think it’s him; he seems a little different than how you last remembered him. All the same, you accept his offer. Within the year he vanishes, leaving you with a host of esoteric wisdom to handle what the world throws at you. Choose one of the following problems to tackle and explain in detail how you handle it using the skills you have just been taught.A group of bandit-warriors has been attacking and looting the communities around where you live. Several people have been injured and a few have been killed already. You fear things will only get worse. Get rid of them, somehow
Two local powerful political figures, who used to be best friends (rumor is they may have been more), are now out of law with one another. It will not benefit anyone if this continues. Fix it.
There may be evil magicians in the land at work to spread discord and destroy the crops. They must be stopped.
The harvests and hunting have been none too good of late. People are talking about leaving the area – but where will they go? What can you do to address their concerns? Additionally, because there isn’t enough food to eat, many people are unwell and weak and some are falling prey to illness. How can you fix this?
