The three examples used are not evidence-based, or they do not demonstrate how the nursing theory supports nursing practice. The content lacks a clear point of view and logical sequence of information. Little persuasive information is included. Sequencing of ideas is unclear. The layout is cluttered, confusing, and does not use spacing, headings, and subheadings to enhance the readability. The text is extremely difficult to read with long blocks of text, small point size for fonts, and inappropriate contrasting colors. Poor use of headings, subheadings, indentations, or bold formatting is evident. Inappropriate word choice and lack of variety in language use are evident. Writer appears to be unaware of audience. Use of primer prose indicates writer either does not apply figures of speech or uses them inappropriately. Slide errors are pervasive enough that they impede communication of meaning. Sources are not documented. Total Points 150.0 Less than Satisfactory (75.00%) A partial overview of the nursing theory is presented. Support for the efficacy of the model in nursing practice is not illustrated; or, evidence provided is not relevant. An unsupported explanation of how the theory proves the conceptual model is presented. There are significant inaccuracies. More information is needed A partial explanation of how the nursing theory incorporates the four metaparadigm concepts is presented. There are inaccuracies. More information is needed. Only one or two examples are provided. Only one example is evidence-based. The examples provided do not fully demonstrate how the nursing theory supports nursing practice.

The content is vague in conveying a point of view and does not create a strong sense of purpose. Some persuasive information is included. The layout shows some structure, but appears cluttered and busy or distracting with large gaps of white space or a distracting background. Overall readability is difficult due to lengthy paragraphs, too many different fonts, dark or busy background, overuse of bold, or lack of appropriate indentations of text. Some distracting inconsistencies in language choice (register) or word choice are present. The writer exhibits some lack of control in using figures of speech appropriately. Frequent and repetitive mechanical errors distract the reader. Documentation of sources is inconsistent or incorrect, as appropriate to assignment and style, with numerous formatting errors. Satisfactory (79.00%) A summary of the nursing theory is presented. General support for the efficacy of the model in nursing practice is presented, but more evidence is needed for support. A general explanation of how the theory proves the conceptual model is presented. There are some inaccuracies. A summary of how the nursing theory incorporates the four metaparadigm concepts is presented. There are some inaccuracies. More information or detail is needed. Three examples are provided. At least two examples are evidence-based. The examples provided generally demonstrate how the nursing theory supports nursing practice. More relevant examples are needed. The presentation slides are generally competent, but ideas may show some inconsistency in organization or in their relationships to each other. Comfort Theory Conceptual Model

The layout uses horizontal and vertical white space appropriately. Sometimes the fonts are easy to read, but in a few places the use of fonts, italics, bold, long paragraphs, color, or busy background detracts and does not enhance readability. Language is appropriate to the targeted audience for the most part. Some mechanical errors or typos are present, but they are not overly distracting to the reader. Sources are documented, as appropriate to assignment and style, although some formatting errors may be present. Good (89.00%) An overview of the nursing theory is presented. Support for the efficacy of the model in nursing practice is presented. An explanation of how the theory proves the conceptual model is presented. There are minor inaccuracies. Some evidence or rationale is needed for support. An explanation of how the nursing theory incorporates the four metaparadigm concepts is presented. Some detail is needed for clarity. Overall, the explanation provides sound support. Three evidence-based examples are provided. Overall, the examples are relevant and demonstrate how the nursing theory supports nursing practice. Some additional evidence or rationale is required to fully demonstrate support. The content is written with a logical progression of ideas and supporting information exhibiting a unity, coherence, and cohesiveness. Persuasive information from reliable sources is included. The layout background and text complement each other and enable the content to be easily read. The fonts are easy to read and point size varies appropriately for headings and text.
