Example if using Benner's Skills Acquisition Model the answer might be 1. The theory is very clear that it describes how nurses increase their clinical skills over time and with experience. 2. The theory is very simple, as a foundation to specific theory, each stage builds on the next as nursing skill levels increase with time. 3. The theory is very general and can be used for nurses in any practice area. It describes how nurses improve in one practice area/specialty but also the needs nurses have when they change practice areas. 4. Skill acquistion can be measured empirically through competency assessments but also through observation research. 5. The theory is important because we need to understand what nurses' needs are as they grow professionally.
