Everything we do in nursing should be supported by evidence. Theories provide a framework on which to link the evidence. Whether we are looking to write a policy or a nursing standard or make a change in practice to promote patient safety, we look to research (evidence) to guide us in our decision making. Visit the South University Online Library or any other sites and retrieve two peer-reviewed articles that demonstrate theoretical foundations (or the relationship between theory and evidence) regarding your capstone topic (Hourly Rounding And Fall Prevention Among The Elderly In Long Term Care: A Change Process). Critique each article, highlighting the strengths and the weaknesses of each article. Interpret the statistical analysis and significance of results. Finally, analyze the feasibility of applying the theory to your population or problem of interest in your current practicum setting.
