The nursing process is the core of practice for every registered nurse to deliver holistic, patient-focused care. The following are the five steps in the nursing process.
Theoretical Foundations of Nursing Practice01:30

Theoretical Foundations of Nursing Practice

Theories play an essential role in organizing patient care. Theories refer to a proposed or followed belief, policy, or procedure that is the basis for action. Nursing theories are knowledge-based concepts that guide nurses' actions, influence nursing education and practice, and allow nurses to care for their patients.
Theories provide a perspective to assess patients' conditions and organize data and methods. They also assist in analyzing and interpreting information. They represent a...
Nursing Ethical Principles II01:27

Nursing Ethical Principles II

Ethical principles are essential in guiding nurses to fulfill their responsibilities, focusing on the quality of nursing care and decision-making. These principles, including autonomy, beneficence, non-maleficence, justice, and fidelity, shape the ethical framework within healthcare settings.
Consider the following scenario, which illustrates how these principles are applied in the care of Mr. John, a fifty-year-old teacher diagnosed with metastatic liver cancer.
Initially, Mr. John's cancer...

Area of Science:

  • Nursing Informatics
  • Knowledge Representation
  • Information Science

Background:

  • Effective nursing terminology relies on clear concept categorization.
  • Understanding similarity is fundamental to organizing and naming nursing concepts.
  • Existing literature lacks a comprehensive comparison of similarity views in nursing.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To define and describe the fundamental aspects of similarity.
  • To apply similarity concepts to the use of nursing terminologies.
  • To compare and contrast prominent similarity views within nursing.

Main Methods:

  • Literature search across Google, CINAHL, PsychINFO, and PubMed.
  • Keywords included "similarity views," "similarity," and "concepts and categorization."
  • Analysis and comparison of three prominent similarity views.

Main Results:

  • Three distinct similarity views were identified and analyzed.
  • Each view's intentions for information categorization were compared.
  • The application of these views to nursing diagnoses was explored.

Conclusions:

  • Similarity views influence the categorization and naming of nursing concepts.
  • Understanding these views is essential for accurate representation of nursing knowledge.
  • Nurse educators and technology designers can leverage similarity principles to improve nursing concept representation.
