This paper presents a response to a post, by a student, about Borrowed Theories Guiding Practice. The post is substantive because it has good content that provides meaningful insights about Borrowed Theories guiding practice. The topic is introduced well whereby the student provides portrays the importance of patient education, as a core aspect of the post. It is usually important to introduce the meaning of abbreviations as early as possible in a text. This aspect has been achieved in writing the post. Other than introducing the topic, the student raises some questions to the reader such as the applicability of patient education to adult participants. The student then provides a matching answer to the question raised. The student does all this in an attempt to introduce the title of the post. The theory of adult learning is brought in at this part of the post whereby the student proposes that the theory can be applied. In this case, the student says that “The theory of adult learning can be applied” (Gatti-Petito, et al., 2013). He/she goes ahead to explain the theory and what it focuses on.
Typically, borrowed information and ideas need to be cited accordingly. The student has not left this requirement out. In the post, two sources have been cited and a reference list for each in-text-cited source indicated accordingly. The student used one scholarly article and one book. From the book, the student says that adults are motivated to learn to solve immediate/practical problems (McEwen & Wills, 2014). The post is concluded well after the student has explained the guiding practice adequately.
