Discussion Question (Assignment worth 3 points) (Two Parts): After reading and reviewing the assigned chapters we come to understand that humans are intrinsically motivated to care for others. Based on this theory, how do you provide care?

Part One

Reviewing the Nursing as Caring Theory, we come to understand that humans are intrinsically motivated to care for others. Based on this theory, how do you provide care for someone who is a criminal that needs care? (Example, a prisoner is brought to your unit for care, after being beaten for molesting a child).

Part Two

The transitions theory incorporates intervention and comprehension of what has taken place. How do you apply the transitions theory to your current nursing practice?
