Problem
In your text, Smith (2020) discusses the significance of nursing theory for practice. You learned that nursing practice directly results from ongoing theory-based thinking, decision making, and action. Nursing theory and practice often reflect the same abiding values and beliefs. Nursing theories can be developed and enhanced through reflection and dialogue regarding actual nursing situations. Discuss with your peers how nursing theories are being used to guide research and evidence-based practice. Discuss the value the application of theory has on practice.
