Document Summary

Nursing theory and other knowledge you will draw upon to inform your process of knowing in practice 1/2 page. Newman"s theory of health as expanding consciousness (hec) illustrates the importance of nurses bringing focus to the meaning and patterns in the lives of patients (parker & smith, 2010). Further, she discusses the idea that nurses grounded within this theory are more concentrated on intuitive knowing than on the specific health challenge (2010). Thus, she draws attention to the importance of nurses learning to let go of personal judgments to focus on the meaning of the relationship at hand (2010). The nurse may not always need to try to fix the situation, but give the patient the insight and understanding to change their mindset/patterns in order to fix it themselves. Newman suggests that nurses simply adopt a being with mindset, rather than a doing for mindset (2010).
