This document discusses applying the Nursing as Caring Theory and Transitions Theory in nursing practice. It poses two discussion questions: 1) How do you provide care for a criminal patient based on the caring theory? And 2) How do you apply the transitions theory in your current nursing practice? It provides grading criteria for the discussion, including introducing high quality arguments supported by research literature from the past 7 years. Reply posts must demonstrate clarity and be supported by evidence.

child).Part TwoThe transitions theory incorporates intervention and comprehension of
what has taken place. How do you apply the transitions theory to your current nursing
practice?Remember APA 6th edition formatting, grammar, in text citations, and references.

PLAGIARISM-FREE PAPERSYou must proofread your paper. But do not strictly rely on your
computer’s spell-checker and grammar-checker; failure to do so indicates a lack of effort on
your part and you can expect your grade to suffer accordingly. Papers with numerous
misspelled words and grammatical mistakes will be penalized. Read over your paper – in
silence and then aloud – before handing it in and make corrections as necessary. Often it is
advantageous to have a friend proofread your paper for obvious errors. Handwritten
corrections are preferable to uncorrected mistakes.Use a standard 10 to 12 point (10 to 12
characters per inch) typeface. Smaller or compressed type and papers with small margins
or single-spacing are hard to read. It is better to let your essay run over the recommended
number of pages than to try to compress it into fewer pages.Likewise, large type, large
margins, large indentations, triple-spacing, increased leading (space between lines),
increased kerning (space between letters), and any other such attempts at “padding” to
increase the length of a paper are unacceptable, wasteful of trees, and will not fool your
professor.The paper must be neatly formatted, double-spaced with a one-inch margin on
the top, bottom, and sides of each page. When submitting hard copy, be sure to use white
