You have spent six weeks exploring theories of nursing. These represent the “how” of what we do as nurses. This week we enter a higher level of thought and explore the “why” of what we do. Present a personal nursing philosophy. Apply what you have read throughout the course and explore the literature on nursing philosophy. While Fawcett was not a nursing theorist, she is a nursing philosopher and her Metaparadigm of Nursing approaches philosophy over theory. Once you have discussed your philosophy, identify a theoretical framework (not the middle-range theories but the underlying assumptions in that framework) that fits your philosophy. Compare and contrast your philosophy and the chosen framework.  Describe a possible situation in which the framework may conflict or not fit your philosophy. While it is an important skill to be able to match a theory with a situation, it is also critical to understand when a theory or framework does not fit a situation.

In your paper, be sure to include the following:

1. Introduction and topic selection. Provide a brief focus statement about your paper, a synopsis of your chosen topic, and what the reader can expect.
2. Functions of management. Explain how your chosen topic relates to the four functions of management: planning, organizing, leading, and controlling.
3. Management skills. Explain how management skills are utilized in terms of your topic. Be sure to analyze which skills would be useful and why.
4. Motivated workforce. Assess how your topic relates to building a motivated workforce. Where applicable, discuss how diversity plays a role. Explain which human resource management principles apply here.
5. Solutions. Discuss how the findings can be expanded, implemented, or promoted when determining managerial solutions. Apply specific theories or models that would benefit this issue.
6. Summary. Culminate your paper with a few concluding paragraphs about what your paper discussed and how it can be beneficial to practitioners.

The discussion questions I chose to focus on this week was: “What are some consequences of fecal microbiomes transplants in treating human diseases?”, and “How does pregnancy effect/influence the remodeling of gut microbiome and further metabolic changes? ” All of these questions need a 450 word response EACH accompanied by their own link. The 2 responses to two students questions (the .jpeg files attached) also need to be accompanied by a link that you used to attempt to answer their requisitions. Will include an example of my own work and two discussions that you need to respond to.
