. Identify a practice that can be changed or implemented that may influence the outcome.

As an AI language model, I don’t have access to your Week 2 work or any other personal information. However, I can provide you with general guidance on how to approach this assignment.

To start, you need to identify an outcome of nursing practice that can be improved. This outcome should be relevant to your area of practice. For example, you may want to improve patient satisfaction, reduce falls, or decrease hospital readmissions.

Next, you will need to identify a concept in Watson’s Theory of Caring that could represent or include the outcome. Watson’s theory emphasizes the importance of human connection and compassion in nursing care. Some concepts that may be relevant include the transpersonal caring relationship, the humanistic-altruistic value system, or the cultivation of sensitivity to self and others.

Once you have identified the concept, you will need to identify a practice that can be changed or implemented that may influence the outcome. This practice should align with the concept you have chosen. For example, if you have identified the humanistic-altruistic value system, you may want to implement a practice that encourages nurses to spend more time with patients, actively listen to their concerns, and respond with empathy and compassion.

Next, you will need to identify exactly how these two concepts will be measured with their operational definitions. This means you need to specify how you will measure the concept you have identified in Watson’s Theory of Caring, as well as the outcome you want to improve. For example, if you have identified patient satisfaction as the outcome, you may want to use a survey tool to measure patient satisfaction scores.

Finally, you will need to develop a proposition between the two concepts. This means you need to create a statement that explains how the practice you have identified will influence the outcome you want to improve. For example, your proposition might state that “Implementing a practice that encourages nurses to spend more time with patients, actively listen to their concerns, and respond with empathy and compassion will increase patient satisfaction scores by 10%.”

When writing your APA formatted paper, make sure to include an introduction, literature review, methodology, results, discussion, and conclusion sections. Use at least 3 to 10 references to support the links between the concepts of the problem and the concepts of Watson’s Theory of Caring. Make sure to follow the University’s standards for written assignments, including proper formatting, citation, and reference guidelines.
