Introduction: As learners, you will consider concepts as the building blocks of nursing knowledge. By defining, describing, and analyzing concepts, we can develop a better understanding of how events, and experiences, important to nursing practice, are related to other concepts. This understanding can be used to design and implement evidence-based interventions.
1. Watch the film “Breathing Lessons: The Life of Mark O’Brien” as a case study.
2. Make a list of all of the concepts that you identify as relevant to the nursing care of Mark.
3. Select from your list, three concepts that you believe are related and provide a conceptual definition of each concept based on a review of the literature.
4. Conduct a concept analysis for each of the three concepts based on course readings or other literature (provide references):
a. What are the antecedents to the concept?
b. What are the characteristics of the concept or defining attributes?
c. What are the consequences or outcomes of the concept?
5. Discuss how concepts are the building blocks of a theory. (Provide references)
6. Write a statement that explains the development of your own middle range theory relevant to the case study of Mark and draw a conceptual map that illustrates how the concepts are related.
7. Apply knowledge of the three concepts (antecedents, characteristics, and consequences/outcomes) in formulating nursing assessment questions relevant to the case study.
8. Discuss the value of theory in guiding clinical nursing practice based on the literature and your own scholarly thinking. (Provide References)
9. Provide references in paper and reference list as per APA (2010) format.

Watch and theoretically examine the life of Mark O’Brian.
You are to watch the film, and identify as many concepts as possible. There are several examples of articles which are concept analyses. It would be helpful to review the components of a concept analysis and I am asking you to select three out of your list of concepts and go to the literature providing references for your concept analysis. You are not expected to do a full concept analysis with model and borderline cases as in the articles that are examples.
I am asking that from the literature you identify the antecedents to a concept which means the concepts that may precursors to the main concept of interest and the concept which may be an outcome or consequence. In defining the concept, you are describing the characteristics of the concepts otherwise known as the defining attributes.
For example, if you identify disability as your concept of interest, how do you define disability? What are its characteristics or attributes? What factors may influence the level of disability someone has or their perception of their disability? What are outcomes of disability?
You are the theorist, so you can use the concept analysis to determine how the concepts fit together as you develop your middle range theory. Please also write in the assignment about concepts as building blocks of theory and the value of theory to practice. Theory with its related concepts may give us insight as practitioners into assessment questions we would ask our patients. What assessment questions would you ask Mark O’Brien to gain insight into his perception and experience of disability?
