"This classic text examines how nursing theory and patterns of knowing affect nursing practice. Now in its seventh edition, Integrated Theory and Knowledge Development in Nursing includes information on the newest pattern of knowing - emancipatory knowing - that focuses on the human capacity to create change by envisioning desired outcomes, particularly in situations that involve injustice or social wrongs. Throughout the book, helpful activities encourage you to reflect on important concepts and explore how these theories can be used to improve the quality of care."--BOOK JACKET
