What is the conceptual level of the theory/model (theory, midrange-theory, model, etc.)? What is the basic idea of the theory/model? Give a brief summary. Define or describe the nursing metaparadigm concepts of person, health, environment, and nursing. If they are not defined, is there an implied definition or are you able to see the authors viewpoint? (You must not copy the definitions from the nursing theory textbook). Are the four metaparadigm concepts related in the theory/model? How? With what areas is the theory/model concerned? Is this theory/model supported by research? How? Does it generate areas for future research? Evaluate for clarity, simplicity, and generalizability. Does this theory/model contribute to the body of nursing knowledge? Is it current and applicable to nursing? Is it significant and will it make a difference (either alone or when used with other, relevant theories) in an area of clinical nursing? How are the two theories similar and different?
