The paper needs to meet the following criteria below:

Addresses an area of nursing in which you have an interest (pediatric, community, nurse anesthesiology, etc.)

Review the article and determine if a holistic nursing theory grounded in caring science is evident, and if so, how it guides nursing practice. Answer the following questions:

Does the author identify nursing interventions that are guided by the theory?

Are the nursing interventions holistic and caring?

Why or why not?

If there is no theory identified, you need to recommend a holistic theory grounded in caring science. Include your rationale for choosing this caring science theory.

Identify two nursing interventions based on that theory (if the author has named nursing interventions), are these holistic and caring and could emerge from the theory you have identified?

If the author has not identified nursing interventions or if those interventions presented in the article do not illustrate holism and caring, then you should recommend two nursing interventions).

Applies Sister Roach’s 6 C’s, Mayeroff’s Caring Ingredients, and/or one theory of caring science to the article review (Examples include Boykin & Schoenhofer’s Nursing as Caring, etc.) OR the student may identify and apply a caring theory that could be applied to the paper with prior approval from the professor. All concepts within your selected theory must be utilized. EACH concept from your selected theory must be applied.
