Spradley’s theory is suitable for addressing the EBP concerning travelling with CHF and avoiding exacerbations. The model is comprehensive enough to include specific steps to be carried out during program implementation as well as allow investigate of different alternatives. In addition, as the change is being carried out, there is a possibility of continuous evaluation that increases the chances of implementing relevant and practical solutions. As to the use of either of the theories, the preceptor used Lewin’s model of change and did not get the desired results. The issue with the model was that it was not detailed enough and could be interpreted differently by practitioners, which led to misunderstanding and delays in progress. Besides, it was rigid and did not reflect the modern healthcare context, as well as was rather combative instead of nurturing (Oguejiofo, 2018). Because change implementation needs a positive and nurturing environment, it is best to select models that account for this and can be used effectively.
