Providing health care to patients who are criminals is very different from other types of nursing practice. Although it is hard, it remains that nursing principles stay the same. A focus on the nurse-patient relationship; in this case, a nurse should not ensure that they take part in physical touch with the patient. Rather, they should enhance the relationship with words. In nursing patients with criminal records, a nurse should be concern about his or their safety. In these, they should know where the officers are to know where to go in case of an alert. A nurse should ensure that officers first clear the environment before treating the patient. The last one is practicing the patient's care within the professional environment; one cannot perform maintenance to the patient in an environment such as jail as the patients can manipulate the procedures for self-gains (Schoenly et al., 2016).
Transition theory has enhanced the concept of theoretical thinking in nursing practice. It has inspired me to do what one does well. They are two parts of transition theory, and the first one is the intervention made. This helps in understandings the change of concepts. This applies to understanding what a patient is feeling and being able to give responses to the situation. The second one understands the transition experience; I will use this in ensuring that patients have a healthy transition process and outcome responses (Smith and Parker 2014). This will be done by monitoring every step and providing resources to ensure that the transition process is successful.

Part One
Reviewing the Nursing as Caring Theory, we come to understand that humans are intrinsically motivated to care for others. Based on this theory, how do you provide care for someone who is a criminal that needs care? (Example, a prisoner is brought to your unit for care, after being beaten for
molesting a child).
The Theory of Nursing as Caring evaluates how a nurse combines their form of practice and ethical beliefs, especially in difficult-to-care situations, like the scenario presented. Caring for a patient who is a criminal can be challenging, but I believe that the first thought that should come to mind, as I do in my practice, is to remember that this person is a patient and should be cared for as such. As a nurse I am not to judge a patient based on their history, but in this scenario, I should become more aware of my surroundings. These types of patients tend to be restrained, therefore, while providing care I keep on the back of my head where I place the nursing tools and remember that the art of manipulation can be a strategic tool from the prisoner perspective. With that being said, I commit to providing optimal nursing care and try to provide education on what is being assessed. I think, as a nurse, it is important to demonstrate the act of care and implement ethical beliefs despite who the patient may be by setting aside our personal moral beliefs.
Part Two
The transitions theory incorporates intervention and comprehension of what has taken place. How do you apply the transitions theory to your current nursing practice?
The Transitions Theory is essential to the nursing field because a healthcare environment is constantly changing and evolving. This theory interrelates preventive and therapeutic interventions, which are strategies I implement in my nursing practice. Typically, patients that are in my units could have done tasks to prevent their current state of wellbeing, therefore, when I encounter such situations, I engage and educate my patients on how to make lifestyle changes to address their current situation and prevent the same or worse outcome in the future. With this type of theory, I think it is important to research and understand other beliefs from my own in order to provide optimal care. Communicating with individuals and families is crucial to providing care as changes not only in care, but behavior can be faced in the healthcare environment. From my past experience in nursing, I have learned to have honest communication, proper responses, and to be aware of my surroundings in order to be prepared for these changes.

Part I
I must comment that even though the care of people serving sentences in prison is different from the other ways of carrying out the nursing procedure, the application of the basic elements of the same are the same. Therefore, as a nursing professional, I hope that good and convincing care is provided, in relation to the ethical values of nursing. However, I must state that a certain situation forced me to establish practice parameters. That is, a care orientation such as touch, whether rectal or vaginal, is understood and limited to the use of an assertive care vocabulary. I also see myself in the duty of treating always said imprisoned person with respect, having the best possible empathy towards said person as an individual. To be able to execute said care in an excellent step, I must have the best courtesy and not minimize or despise it, since I must not consider the negative actions that it has done, but I must always consider that it is a human being, since it can have a certain level of sensitivity in what the area of medical attention is concerned. Holistic care related to the theory of nursing care, gives me the way, as a nurse, to recognize the needs of our patient, involving spiritual and cultural elements.
Part II
The theory of transitions gives us a scenario that considers the basic elements of nursing worldwide, optimizing the work of nurses to protect analogies and life patterns. In my current nursing area, I work with patients who, after surgery, are in rehabilitation, so I see myself in the commitment to be in the greatest availability to attend to them in their weakest moments and who need my help. By having a broad understanding of this model, it gives me the possibility to check the situation of my patients to define the basic elements to establish the next level of care. Likewise, this theory helps me to determine the basic needs of my patients in their current environment, as well as the elements of risks that manage to harm them at all levels of care. With the application of this theory, I can achieve a decisive role in the improvement of the transformation and establishment of communication limits in the plan.

Part One. Nursing as Caring Theory.
The essence of the nursing as profession is care for others. It is the philosophy implicit on this grand theory. Nursing should be and altruistic profession focusing on healing and wellbeing over everything else. As person we have our ethic, values, believes and biases; situations that can test our principles are the most difficult. The main objective of nursing is caring for the patient prevails no matter the circumstance. Care is human and bring quality services increase the safety, health status, comfort and quality of live. The nurse metaparadigm is implicit, first all person needs care and is innate to humans bring that care. The wellbeing or health is achieved when the proper care is applying according each situation. Environment must be adequate to promote the healing and nurture. They view nursing as profession is based on provide holistic care to all individuum (The Theory of Nursing As Caring, 2020). The circumstances surrounded each person, their attitudes, believes, and all others issues can not be an excuse for not implemented the adequate interventions to increase health and wellbeing.
Part Two. The transitions theory
Any changes on health or wellbeing trigger an intervention to cope whit it, and the process starts as soon as the event occur. Transitions is considering the passage from one phase to other during the health-disease process, condition or status even when stable periods are present. This is a complex process that begins with the awareness of situation, evaluation, understanding of the situation, identification of critical points or unhealthy situations, design and implement interventions to cope with the change (Lindmark, 2019). The observations of people’s experiences facing those situations and how to deal whit it. As nurses we play an important role helping people through health-illness or live transitions in order to facilitate the healthy outcome aftermath.

When we decide to study nursing, we do it to help others whatever their situation would be. But on many occasions, we face patients whose stories do not agree with our beliefs, principles, and values , but they must be treated and care for with respect beyond that.
Nursing work has to do with three things: Protection, enhancement, and preservation of human dignity. Caring for that involves values, respect, and commitment, the three necessaries for the human person dedicated to health care. As nurses, in our daily work, we enter the field of the condition and behavior of patients and populations. We must respond to the needs of the patient's being and what the patient exposes about it; both patient and nurse create this time of care.
Our role as nurses is to provide medical care, not to judge anyone, whatever their situation. Also, should be noted that we are human, and it could be difficult for us to face situations such as those mentioned. However, we must still put our beliefs aside and think only about the patient's well-being and what we can do to improve their health, always treating them with respect, dignity, and, more importantly, respecting their human rights. Caring is an activity that combines a human relationship with processes to do it beyond the disease. In nursing, the care of the patient or a society is the central part of its activity. It involves the patient or human groups and the professional as receivers and transmitters simultaneously.
The types of transitions include development, health - illness, birth, adolescence, menopause, old age, and death. Health-disease transitions include recovery processes, hospital discharge, and diagnosis of chronic disease. Organizational transitions have changes in environmental conditions that affect the lives of patients and workers. Many people undergo multiple transitions simultaneously rather than experiencing one, which distinguishing cannot be easy from the contexts of their daily lives. They suggested that it is essential to consider whether multiple transitions are sequential or simultaneous.
We can apply the transitions theory to our current nursing practice because we are the primary caregivers of patients and families experiencing transitions. Also, we support them during their different stages of life. Also, we can perceive well-being and the ability to assume new roles. In addition, our environment refers to the adaptation of the discharged patient to the home and the adaptation of his family, having changes in identities, roles, and behavioral stops, which depend on the meanings and processes of the person's experiences and transitions.

Theory of Nursing as Caring & Transitions Theory
The theory of Nursing as Caring leads the nursing interventions under the scope of practice in which the professional nurse takes care by the virtue of human caring as a distinctive feature of the humanness. Such action is leaned towards the virtue of considering the patient as a whole where the patient in the role of personhood is grounded in the respect and caring for the human life and the subjective attributes of the well-being. The theory of Nursing as Caring was introduced by Jean Watson and through her statements is possible to define the consideration in which “humans cannot be treated as objects and that humans cannot be separated from self, other, nature, and the larger workforce” (Boykin, 2016).
Caring for Watson is not only the application of the nursing process, and instead, the whole nursing actions in which the interpersonal process between the nurse in the role of healthcare provider and patient is essential and unique. Under such assumption, Watson who entails that “the centrality of human caring and on the caring-to-caring transpersonal relationship and its healing potential for both the one who is caring and the one who is being cared for” (Boykin, 2016). From any of the carative factors (embrace, inspire, trust, nurture, or forgive, etc.), the nurse should discard the personal judgments to deliver the best of nursing process to assist the patient regardless if the individual is a criminal or no. As a human being, the person needs and requires the best of the nurse´s abilities to assess, treat, and serve for the professional care under Watson´s doctrine (Masters, 2015). In addition, nurses, despite the patient´s background, should be actively engaged in the caring processes through an authentic presence and intentionality for optimizing the patient’s ability to heal from within. This implies that the nursing care should be with the same intention, quality, and professionalism as any other patient from the population.
With a different perspective, Meleis´s Transitions Theory pursues the application of critical thinking to the observations in which the experiences are connoted as the patient learns to deal with the variations and changes in the health status, well-being, and the self-ability to take care (Valentine, 2018). Based on her propositions, the theory places in evidence the transitions through different stages which includes developmental, health and illness, situational, and organizational aspects. The transition recognizes the relevance of the nurses in the helping of patients through the phases of health and illness as well as the different life transitions, and here is where the interventions and comprehension takes relevance and place (Masters, 2015). By recognizing from the nursing judgement which is the patient´s needs and the adaptation of the nursing process and intervention to patient´s needs, the nurse is able to adequate the plan of care and treatment. In addition, nurses also assist the patient by facilitating the necessary resources to patients, families, and communities´ stages of transitions.
