The concept for this assignment must be supported by a published nursing theory. The selected concept is identified and then the elements of the analysis process are applied in order to synthesize knowledge for application as demonstrated through the creation of model, borderline, and contrary cases. Theoretical applications of the concept are also discussed. Non-nursing theories may NOT be used. The paper concludes with a synthesis of the student’s new knowledge about the concept. The scholarly literature is incorporated throughout the analysis. Only the elements identified in this assignment should be used for this concept analysis. Criteria for Content 1. Introduction The introduction substantively presents all the following elements: * Identifies the role of concept analysis within theory development. * Identifies the selected nursing concept. * Identifies the nursing theory that addresses the selected concept. * Names the sections of the paper. * Scholarly support is required. 2. Definition/Explanation of the selected nursing concept This section includes: * Defines/explains the concept using scholarly literature (a dictionary maybe used for this section ONLY, and additional scholarly nursing references are required). * A substantive discussion of this section with support from nursing literature is required.
