In fact, its utilization led to the development of the Goal-Oriented Nursing Record (GONR), which is used as a procedural step that would guide the nurse throughout his/her conduct of care service provision and evaluation.
Orlando's theory of functional nursing, meanwhile, focuses on one concept considered vital in King's goal attainment theory: perception. In her theory, Orlando explicated the importance of a perceptive nursing, which is a basic requirement and goal for any practicing nurse. This 'concept' is vital in that through the practice of perceptive nursing, the idea of "good" and "bad" nursing is eliminated. Moreover, in discussing further the idea of perceptive -- that is, functional -- nursing, Orlando argued the following, centering on the importance of becoming a care provider first rather than being a medical service provider:
in day-to-day practice the nurse can forget what her real job is, if she...
After all there are just so many hours on duty and if every minute is spent on what routine, administration, and doctors prescribe, then obviously you can't get around to helping the patient...the head nurse and the student did do the things that had to be done but nothing they did or said directly helped (the patient). Her expressions of agony did not change, if anything, they got worse.

However, from the anti-realist point-of-view, such manifestations are not enough for an individual to consider the patient alive. One can posit that the absence of the patient's ability to communicate or interact is a manifestation of death, or the state of not being alive. That is, despite the biological signs of life shown in the apparatuses, anti-realists view the patient as dead because s/he is no longer able to
Nursing Theory "Discuss several aspects of professional communication as it relates to the use of language in terms of form (e.g., clarity, accuracy) and content (culture and/or ethics)." (Question, 2014, p1). Communication is the reciprocal process where messages are received and sent between two or more individuals. Communication involves exchange of ideas, or opinion, which could be in form oral or written form. On the other hand, communication involves a series of
Nursing Theory from the View of a Mirror, Microscope and Telescope The objective of this work is to examine perspective of nursing theory from the view of a mirror, a microscope, and a telescope. Theories are described as "a set of interrelated concepts that give a systematic view of a phenomenon that is explanatory and predictive in nature." (Nursing Theories, 2010) Theories are stated to be composed of "concepts, definitions, models, propositions
Nursing Theory Analysis Theory-based nursing is the phenomenon that has been researched much during the past two decades. Nursing theory has become the foundation for nursing practice with its own knowledge base. The current paper is an analysis of King's theory of goal attainment. King acquired her goal attainment theory model from an interpersonal system and a behavioral science. The nurse and patient communicate to achieve a common goal of patient
Nursing Leadership Theories NURSING LEADERSHIP: COMPARISON AND ANALYSIS OF CONCEPTS & THEORIES The work of Cherie and Gebrekida (2005) report that there is both formal and informal leadership in that managers are formally "delegated authority, including the power to reward or punish. A manager is expected to perform functions such as planning, organizing, directing (leading) and controlling (evaluating)." On the other hand, informal leaders are "not always managers performing those functions required
Nursing Theories: In contemporary times, there are many nursing theories, each with a highlighted core concept and value, and each with a unique philosophy. When looking closely at these theories, it is possible to see commonality among them, and theorists can be divided into groups with similar core beliefs. Nursing in general has an underlying goal of identifying and filling the patient's needs, though each theorist comes from a unique
