– Describe how the chosen model or theory can be applied in your future nurse practitioner role

RUBRIC
Intro
Introduction includes general statements on the value of nursing models and theories as a framework for practice. State the selected model or theory that will be analyzed, and the NP specialty to which application will be presented. Identify sections of the paper. Provide citations from scholarly nursing sources to validate your assertions. 

Overview of Selected Model
Present a succinct overview of the selected model/theory. Discuss the key concepts within the model. Explain how the model addresses each of the concepts within the metaparadigm (person, health, nursing, and environment).

Application of the Model to Advanced Practice Nursing
Discuss how the model/theory can serve as a theoretical framework to inform and guide practice within your future nurse practitioner practice. Include one specific example of a population with which the theory/model may be useful. Your example should be substantive, specific, and include a detailed description of how the model would be applied.
The example may come from a published source, or it may be your own creative idea.
