- Select one nursing theory (grand, middle-range, or practice-level) that has influenced nursing practice in your area of interest.
- Analyze how this theory has guided researchinclude at least one example of a research study (within the last five years) that supports, tests, or challenges the theory.
- Discuss how EBP operationalizes this theory in the clinical setting. Provide a specific example of how theoretical principles are applied through evidence-based interventions or guidelines.
- Critically reflect on how understanding the dynamic interplay among theory, research, and EBP enhances your role as an advanced nurse (e.g., clinician, leader, educator, or researcher).
