I. From Theory to Practice

Nursing theories are intellectual frameworks that guide and explain what nursing is, what
nurses do, and why they do it. It enables a more precise and specific explanation of nursing.
Nursing theories have a significant influence on nursing practice. This method helps nurses
understand their patients' needs and provide the best care possible. These ideas can assist
nurses give care that efficiently improves patient outcomes by studying and comprehending
the nursing, patient, environment, and health. To strengthen their clinical skills, nursing
students should begin implementing these theories as soon as possible, for example, by return
demonstration. During my return demonstration, I applied these nursing theories.

Nursing, according to Florence Nightingale's Environmental Theory, is defined as "the act of

utilizing the patient's environment to assist him in his recovery" (NurseLab). Aside from
prepping the client, it is also critical to prepare the setting so that the client is at ease during all
assessments and procedures. Nightingale highlights how the client's condition is affected by
the environment, thus as future nurses, we should always prioritize their condition. Before
beginning the procedure, I always ensure that my client has privacy and a comfortable
environment in my return demonstration.

According to Hildegard Peplau, nursing is an important therapeutic and interpersonal process.

She is most recognized for her contributions to the Theory of Interpersonal Relations, which
emphasizes the importance of the nurse-client relationship as the foundation of nursing care
practice (NurseLab). This idea is critical in every nursing procedure since the nurse and client
must establish a trusting relationship. This method was applied in my return demonstration by
introducing myself and explaining the procedure to the client, as well as discussing how the
outcome will be used to lessen the patient's anxiety and create rapport. The client will be able
to collaborate during the assessment as a result of gaining trust in the nurse.

V. Learning Strategies

The first thing I usually do is develop or create a table that includes all the steps, rationales, and actions or
spills that I will say and perform during the return demonstration. This technique is effective, and I can
easily remember the steps. Another thing I do is that in each step, I imprint a word in my mind so that I can
quickly recall the subsequent steps. After memorizing the checklist, I watched videos on YouTube to
familiarize myself with what to do and how to carry out the procedure. This is to ensure that I follow the
proper method when performing the return demonstration. Finally, I practice so that I am not confused
during the demonstration and have an excellent performance during the retdem.
