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. My philosophy: Placing intubated COVID patients in a prone position improves oxygenation and reduces mortality rate. The proposition is placing COVID-19 patients into prone position, can improve ventilation and reduces mortality in patients with severely impaired oxygenation. 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.
