Additionally, it can be acquired<br \/>\nusing countless ways, and one way is through nursing theories. There are<br \/>\ntheorists who have found it useful to come up with sources of information on<br \/>\nways of reforming nursing practices. One major types of nursing theories are<br \/>\ngrand theories. In the paper, the objective is to explain an ongoing<br \/>\ndevelopment in the use of grand nursing theories and their place in nursing<br \/>\npractice.<\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-size: 11.5pt; cursor: auto; color: inherit;\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-top: 0in; margin-bottom: 1rem; cursor: auto; color: inherit;\"><strong style=\"cursor: auto; color: inherit;\"><span style=\"cursor: auto; color: inherit;\"><span style=\"font-size: 11.5pt; cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">The<br \/>\nCase of the Ongoing Development and Use of Nursing Grand Theories and a Case of<br \/>\nthe Obsolescence of Nursing Grand Theories for Today\u2019s Practice and Research<\/span><\/span><\/strong><span style=\"font-size: 11.5pt; cursor: auto; color: inherit;\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-top: 0in; margin-bottom: 1rem; cursor: auto; color: inherit;\"><span style=\"cursor: auto; color: inherit;\"><span style=\"font-size: 11.5pt; cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">There are two categories of nursing theories which<br \/>\ninclude middle-range nursing theories and grand theories. However, all of them<br \/>\noffer basic knowledge regarding varied approaches that are beneficial in<br \/>\nempowering nurses in the present and future. Nursing theories help nurses in<br \/>\nexplaining some of the things that they do for their patients, together with<br \/>\nthe reasons why they do them. In nursing, grand theories are frequently used,<br \/>\nand one example is Ida Jean Orlando\u2019s nursing process theory. The theories are<br \/>\nalways focused on particular concepts that, in some cases, are very complex<\/span><span style=\"cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">&nbsp;(Jairath et al., 2018).<br \/>\nBut, they do not issue guidance on individual nursing interventions.<\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-size: 11.5pt; cursor: auto; color: inherit;\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-top: 0in; margin-bottom: 1rem; cursor: auto; color: inherit;\"><span style=\"cursor: auto; color: inherit;\"><span style=\"font-size: 11.5pt; cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">Grand nursing theories offer a large area of concepts<br \/>\nthat are linked to people, the environment, nursing, and health. Furthermore,<br \/>\nthey are formed from the experiences of theorists at different times in<br \/>\nhistory. The theories have a lot of fundamental concepts which advanced to cover<br \/>\na lot of approaches. Therefore, they became broad and complex regarding their<br \/>\nscope. Most grand nursing theories provide information concerning nursing<br \/>\npractice and the kind of care that needs to be offered to patients. As a<br \/>\nresult, they have been integrated into many procedures. They have also been<br \/>\napplied in coming up with strategies that can assist nurses in learning a<br \/>\nnumber of skills which can be basic or complex.<\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-size: 11.5pt; cursor: auto; color: inherit;\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-top: 0in; margin-bottom: 1rem; cursor: auto; color: inherit;\"><span style=\"cursor: auto; color: inherit;\"><span style=\"font-size: 11.5pt; cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">Also, grand theories allow nurses to gain the required<br \/>\nexperience that can be applied in a lot of real-life situations. There have<br \/>\nalso been instances in which researchers have used the concepts from the<br \/>\nnursing theory as a source of guidance in coming up with steps or in the<br \/>\nevaluation of findings. However, grand theories are slowly becoming outdated<br \/>\nbecause of technological advancements and other unavoidable factors<\/span><span style=\"cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">&nbsp;(Olsson et al., 2020). They<br \/>\nare also becoming unreliable in solving problems that professionals believed<br \/>\nthey could solve.<\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-size: 11.5pt; cursor: auto; color: inherit;\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-top: 0in; margin-bottom: 1rem; cursor: auto; color: inherit;\"><span style=\"cursor: auto; color: inherit;\"><span style=\"font-size: 11.5pt; cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">One of the major reasons is the existence of new and<br \/>\nimproved theories that have been developed. Some of those theories have the<br \/>\ncapability of serving society in a better way than grand nursing theories<br \/>\nformed several years ago. Moreover, the medical field is overburdened by many<br \/>\npieces of research and discoveries that need concrete sources of guidance<\/span><span style=\"cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">&nbsp;(Mathieson et al., 2019).<br \/>\nThis makes it hard for some of the popular grand theories to be used in<br \/>\nbuilding an efficient healthcare society.<\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-size: 11.5pt; cursor: auto; color: inherit;\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-top: 0in; margin-bottom: 1rem; cursor: auto; color: inherit;\"><strong style=\"cursor: auto; color: inherit;\"><span style=\"cursor: auto; color: inherit;\"><span style=\"font-size: 11.5pt; cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Conclusion<\/span><\/span><\/strong><span style=\"font-size: 11.5pt; cursor: auto; color: inherit;\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-top: 0in; margin-bottom: 1rem; cursor: auto; color: inherit;\"><span style=\"cursor: auto; color: inherit;\"><span style=\"font-size: 11.5pt; cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">Nurses and other specialists located in the medical<br \/>\nfield should find ways through which they can implement their strategies to<br \/>\nsuit the present needs. It is also beneficial for them to amend their beliefs<br \/>\nas they will remain updated on all of the current healthcare needs and<br \/>\nrequirements. Grand nursing theories and important, but it is also necessary to<br \/>\nrefer to middle-range theories as well. Taking such an approach helps in<br \/>\ngetting relevant information by using different sources.<\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-size: 11.5pt; cursor: auto; color: inherit;\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"cursor: auto; color: inherit;\"><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-top: 0in; margin-bottom: 1rem; cursor: auto; color: inherit;\"><b style=\"cursor: auto; color: inherit;\"><span style=\"cursor: auto; color: inherit;\"><span style=\"font-size: 11.5pt; cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; References<\/span><\/span><\/b><span style=\"font-size: 11.5pt; cursor: auto; color: inherit;\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-top: 0in; margin-bottom: 1rem; cursor: auto; color: inherit;\"><span style=\"cursor: auto; color: inherit;\"><span style=\"font-size: 11.5pt; cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">Jairath, N.
