An Introduction to Theory and Reasoning in Nursing,
4th Edition
Betty Johnson and Pamela Webber
An Introduction to Theory and Reasoning in Nursing
demonstrates the
interconnections between theory, research, and practice. The text helps
students understand theory; what it is, how it supports nurses and their
practice and how they can use it to answer clinical questions and care for
patients more effectively. This updated 4th Edition features new summaries of
individual support theories and nursing theories, new Nursing Study boxes, a
new research-validated reasoning model, the Clinical Reasoning Plan (CRP) that
uses actual nursing case studies, and expanded online instructor’s resources.

Theory
Theoretical Basis for Nursing,
4th Edition
Melanie McEwen and Evelyn Wills
Easy to read without diluting the complexity of the content, this book focuses
on the application of theory, while helping them build skills they will use in
developing, analysing, and evaluating theory in their future career. The book
covers “shared” theories (from other disciplines in the sociologic, behavioral,
and biomedical sciences); organises grand theories based on human needs, the
interactive process, and the unitary process; and demonstrates applications
of theory in nursing practice, nursing research, nursing administration and
management, and nursing education.
