The 5 Patterns of knowledge in nursing practice

[Raio]

I am confused about the 5 pattern of knowledge. Can anyone help, I need to write a paper about it.

1-Empirical

2-Esthetic

3- Personal

4-Ethical

Is the 5th practical, proposional or emancipatory?

Thank you all!

Is this a quiz question? Carper proposed 4 ways of knowing in nursing, the first 4 you list. Chinn and Kramer added a 5th. Still other knowledge theorists list many other ways of knowing. So it all depends on which theory of knowledge you want to use.

Which theory of knowledge does your school want you to use? You should be using a reference for that if you are going to put it in a paper. Check and cite your reference.
