In the lecture for the week, a theory was identified. "Knowledge as a component of the sociocultural orientation basic conditioning factor enhances prevention of hazards" is a theory from a major nursing framework. Identify the framework and provide an example of how other applications of this theory may occur in nursing practice. For example, you may say that education may enhance the reduction of free throw rugs in an elderly persons home which will prevent falls. Tie the concepts together by clearly defining them and how they could be measured.

Needs a explanation from a student nurse practitioner's point of view with references

Answer:

The statement "Knowledge as a component of the socio-cultural orientation basic conditioning factor enhances the prevention of hazards" is by Jacqueline Fawcett to define nursing knowledge. There are five components of nursing knowledge; metaparadigm, philosophy, conceptual model, theory, and empirical indicator. Each part of nursing knowledge is complete on its own but also is complete within a larger structure. 

Step-by-step explanation

The five components of nursing knowledge except for empirical indicator, are made up of concepts and propositions, where the empirical indicator measure the concepts. Concepts are the idea or the observation tool that promotes and encourages communication and understanding about the occurrence. 

Pain is considered subjective, but in the PACU, pain is objective. One observation tool that is used is for critical care patients is the Critical-Care Pain Observation Tool (CPOT). It detects behavioral pain in patients that are unable to voice their pain.

CPOT sees pain from observations of facial expressions, body movements, muscle tension, and ventilator compliance.

The CPOT behavioral pain score is scored on a 0-2 for each observation with a total of 8 points. The biggest reason for inadequate pain control is the education of the health care provider, including nurses and advanced practice nurses. Inadequate pain control is caused by insufficient pain assessment, lack of knowledge, and lack of communication between health care providers, and also lack of proper pain control recording. When the patient, family, nurse, and advanced practice nurse are educated and involved in communication, the patient should have little to no pain on the CPOT.
