This is an excellent question and I would like to answer it by posing questions:
1. Do you work with patients and their families to help them achieve their health goals? If so, you are using Imogene King's nursing concept of mutual goal attainment.
2. Do you value patients' perceptions as valid and then plan your care to start with these perceptions? If so, you are using Imogene King's nursing concept of perception.
There are many other examples of how nurses already routine use Imogene King's work in their practice but these are the two that I use the most.
