my chosen theory ; Grand Nursing Theorist Report
The purpose of this paper is to explain the elements of a theory and how to apply it to nursing practice. The theorist chosen was Dorothea E. Orem and her self-care deficit nursing theory. This theorist was selected because her theory provides an exceptional organizational tool to guide nursing practice and evaluate care. It is said that “Orem’s theory is composed of three interrelated theories: the theory of self-care, the self-care deficit theory, and the theory of nursing systems” (Gonzalo, 2011).
