Deriving interventions from the NDB model. Using natural environment and implicit memory theories.
By drawing on theoretical propositions developed outside nursing, and by modifying and synthesizing these with nursing experiential data, useful statements for practice may be developed for further examination. Because practice theory for the care of patients with dementia is not well-developed or well-examined yet, the process described here to develop meaningful interventions for practice should be further explored and evaluated.

The unrecognized paradigm shift in nursing: implications, problems, and possibilities.
An important paradigm (or worldview) shift is occurring in science that affects the nature of nursing education, practice, and research. The shift from positivism to postmodernism and now to neomodernism has received little attention in US nursing and as such may forestall many opportunities related to such change. The nature of this paradigm shift and its effects on selected aspects of nursing education, practice, and research are described, and related implications, problems, and possibilities are explored. Neomodernism is discussed as one future for nursing that encompasses aspects of both positivism and postmodernism but yet goes beyond these to include important metanarratives as traditional values and beliefs of nursing. The work of Laudan and Lakatos are explored as supportive of this neomodernist approach.
