Topic 1: Identification of a   Concept

   Select a concept you will analyze in this course. Your concept needs to   interest you, possibly associated with your current or future work or   something that intrigues or even bothers you. Try to avoid selecting a   concept that is too broad or too narrow [see the unit overview for a   discussion of broad or narrow concepts]. Explain the following:

• Name of the concept of        interest
• Why you selected it
• What you hope to discover or        learn from the concept analysis
• What the concept means to you        currently [prior to any literature review]
• Why the concept is of        interest to the nursing profession
