Discussion

Prompt: Nursing theories serve as foundational frameworks that add knowledge, support practice, influence decision-making, and shape the nurse-patient-family relationship. However, the application of these theories may involve ethical considerations that can complicate nursing practice and/or the profession.

Use the Nursing Theory from your Unit 2 presentation assignment to create an initial post to address the following questions:

· What ethical principles (e.g., autonomy, beneficence, justice, etc.) are most applicable to the theory you presented on? provide a rationale

· How might the theory you presented on conflict with patient/family values and preferences or societal norms?

· How should a nurse navigate this ethical dilemma while adhering to the foundational principles of the theory you presented on?

· How could the theory you presented on be adapted to better align with ethical practices in an increasingly complex healthcare environment?

Please be sure to validate your opinions and ideas with citations and references in APA format.

The discussion requirements include that you upload a file of the full-text article for each listed reference
