According to Kamitsuru's Tripartite Model of Nursing Practice, what are the three components that drive nursing actions, and which one is based on nursing's unique disciplinary knowledge?
The three components are medical diagnoses, nursing diagnoses, and organizational protocols. The component based on nursing's unique disciplinary knowledge is nursing diagnoses.
Kamitsuru's Tripartite Model of Nursing Practice identifies three distinct but interrelated drivers of nursing actions: medical diagnoses (with actions based on medical standards of care), nursing diagnoses (with independent nursing interventions based on nursing standards of care), and organizational protocols (basic care actions based on organizational standards of care). Of these, only nursing diagnoses relate to the unique disciplinary knowledge of nursing.
Key points
- Actions driven by medical diagnoses follow medical standards of care.
- Actions driven by nursing diagnoses are independent nursing interventions based on nursing standards of care.
- Actions driven by organizational protocols are basic care actions based on organizational standards of care.
- Nursing diagnosis is the component tied to nursing's unique disciplinary knowledge.
