Discussion 2: What strategies might a professional nurse use in his/her work environment to
advocate for the implementation of nursing theory as a framework for quality practice?
One of the strategies a professional nurse may apply in implementing nursing theory as a
quality practice framework is the metaparadigm of nursing. The metaparadigm of nursing
involves concepts of person, health, nursing, and environment (Black, 2020). The
interdependence of the four metaparadigm of nursing applies in meeting the nursing theory as a
framework for quality practice (Bender, 2018). The individual practicing nursing under the four
metaparadigms of nursing applies theoretical nursing fundamentals in providing health. The use
of theoretical nursing fundamentals focuses on the patient and the environment that influences
the patient’s health. The nurse applies a humanistic form of care that acknowledges the patient as
a fellow human first. Afterward, the nurse is in a position to apply the human caring theory in
healthcare provision. The nurse uses the impact environment has on the patient to cater to the
patient’s needs. Therefore, implementation of nursing theory in quality practice happens only
when interdependences of the four metaparadigms of nursing occurs.
An integral theory application is another strategy a professional nurse may apply in
implementing nursing theory as a quality practice framework. The application of Integral Theory
promotes the organization of various nursing theories and philosophies in healthcare provision.
As a result, the theory’s most applied quadrants focus on the individual interior, individual
exterior, collective interior, and collective exterior (Shea et al., 2019). The individual interior
focuses on the understanding of self and consciousness. The understanding of self and
consciousness ensures an individual behaves appropriately towards health. Nurses use self and
consciousness in ethically providing healthcare. The individual exterior focuses on the physical

body concerning health. A physically fit person is likely to attain health than an unfit person. The
collective interior focuses on the understanding of culture and shared values that promote
healthcare. Nurses use culture and shared values in creating rapport with patients. The creation of
rapport ensures patients adhere to the healthcare services from nurses. The collective exteriors
focus on social systems and structures dealing with society and a structure that nurses apply in
learning and offering healthcare.
