Theoretical Basis: Watson's Theory of Human Caring An advanced practice nurse (APN) to help guide professional practice and provide a working framework can use many different theories and models. Theories provide a foundation in which an APN can seek to understand patients and their problems and effectively plan interventions. Basing our practice on a particular theory can help improve the care we provide by not only providing structure but also providing boundaries and goals for our nursing actions and it defines a framework to evaluate the effectiveness of the actions we provide (Eldridge, 2014). This paper is going to review Watson’s theory of human caring and provide a description of the interrelated concepts for the grand nursing theory.

This approach has helped to improve the individual quality of life. It has also given the providers evidence that the support being provided is supporting them to achieve in life what they want.
As an enabler, the social worker must engage the client using varying approaches in order to allow the client to create the conditions needed to succeed (Miley, 2011). The enabler works with the client to meet life challenges and carry out tasks, such as getting enrolled in the GED course and securing daycare services. As a social work broker, it is important to link clients with resources that are available within the community and to provide referrals when necessary (Miley, 2011). In this situation, connecting Stacy with the GED Program and daycare services assume this role set. As a case manager for Stacy, a slight degree of oversight and guidance is useful to both assist in guiding the client toward completing goals and objectives, but also to help empower the client to want to do it themselves.
