Abstract

MetaPORT is a practical algorithm for the advanced practice nurse (APN) student to use as a helpful model when applying theory to inspire innovative solutions to various healthcare challenges. MetaPORT represents the essential steps in applying theory to practice through metacognition, problem identification, organized thinking, relating theory assumptions to problems, and talking out loud.
