Assignment Overview

Think about your practicum project and the issue you identified in Module 3. What issue or problem did you identify?

Review different nursing theories that could support a resolution to the practice issue or problem you have identified. NOTE: Many students may be inclined to choose Lewin’s Change Theory. This is not a nursing theory and would not apply to the required content for this assignment.
