Duffy considers her quality-caring model __________.&#10;A) Middle range.&#10;B) Grand theory.&#10;C) Practice-level theory.&#10;D) Micro theory.

Accepted Answer

Duffy's quality-caring model is considered a middle-range theory, as it provides specific guidance for nursing practice and can be applied in various settings and situations. It is not a grand theory or a practice-level theory, as it does not attempt to explain all aspects of nursing or focus exclusively on a specific practice setting. It also does not qualify as a micro theory, as it goes beyond individual interactions and addresses broader issues related to the delivery of quality care.
