Nursing Theories and Nursing Practice by Parker
Publication Date: 2010
For each theory, you'll find an introduction to the theorist, a description of the theory's role as a model for nursing practice, and an examination of its application in clinical practice.

A section is devoted to middle range theories and practice models that support evidence-based nursing practice. Chapters are written by the original theorists, scholars, and nurses experienced in use of the theory in their practice.
