title: A composite case study of a woman with human immunodeficiency virus: integration of nursing research and theory with practice.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  The purpose of this case study is to demonstrate integration of the research-based standardized languages of NANDA-I, the Nursing Outcomes Classification (NOC), and the Nursing Interventions Classification (NIC) with Barrett's middle range theory of power to support a woman's experience of ending sexual exploitation and stopping drug use.
  
  
  METHODS
  Clinical practice, the collective experiences of patients, research evidence, and books that explain NANDA-I, NOC, and NIC.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The success of this woman in managing her health supports the use of Barrett's theory of power.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Theory and research provide the foundations for quality-based clinical practice.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Identification of readiness to change enabled significant life changes.
