With a consistent focus on application throughout, Nursing Theory: Utilization & Application, 5th Edition covers the development of nursing theory; the application of different nursing theories, models and philosophies; and the expansion of these practices with a look toward the future. This text provides the opportunity for students who have learned the background of nursing theory using the companion title, Nursing Theorists and Their Work, to apply what they have learned to actual nursing practice through various patient scenarios.

    • NEW! QSEN competencies incorporated throughout the book show the correlation between nursing theories and the importance of patient safety and quality improvement.
    • Critical thinking exercises provide a more application-based approach rather than just contemplation of theories presented.
    • NEW! Nursing Care sections demonstrate how theories apply to certain situations and particular types of nurses.
    • NEW! Nursing theory timeline helps students place different nursing theories and theorists in history, illustrating the progression of the content.
    • Chapters written by contributors who utilize the work offer a unique approach to using theory in practice.
    • Real-life case history example included in application chapters promotes evidence-based practice and further demonstrates how a theory is used in practical situations.
    • Nursing metaparadigm discussion illustrates the four center concepts with which the discipline is concerned to help your students see the scope of concern for the profession.
    • Logical organization presents content in three distinct parts for a student-friendly approach to teaching.
    • NEW! Fresh design helps students visually identify the text’s relationship with its Nursing Theorists companion.
    • Glossary offers your students quick access to key terms throughout the text.
    • Updated nursing application examples feature realistic scenarios that promote evidence-based practice. Scenarios have been updated using references to current literature and evidence-based clinical research.
    • New information on the benefits and cautions associated with evidence-based practice, including a new discussion of "praxis," a dynamic process where theory and practice come together.
