The purpose of the applied theory paper is to demonstrate competence in theory analysis and application to nursing practice. Two Theories (one Nursing and one Non-Nursing) will be discussed and analyzed. In this paper you are expected to examine the assigned theories and/or models and discuss their applicability and relevancy to nursing. For non-nursing theories you will need to research whether or not these theories have been directly applied to nursing practice, have been adapted by a nursing theorist, or are not directly applicable or current.
The assignment must be typed and double-spaced, include title page, reference list, possible appendices, using APA format. Written in a narrative format, it is to be 5-7 pages in length. **Deductions will be made if paper is over assigned length.
The title of the paper must include the FULL names of both theorists
The reference list is in addition to—and separate from–the annotated bibliography assignment (note APA differentiates between the Reference List and the Bibliography).
The reference list must include at least 8 sources (not course textbooks), which may or may not be from the annotated bibliography.
