They will give me direction, as well as, assist me in understanding nursing theoretical systems and how to implement them in the practice, administration, education, and research setting. In addition, I will be able to apply the theoretical works to address relevant questions, offer the framework to answer those questions, as well as, to create well-informed data for practice (Alligood, 2014a, p. 711). Furthermore: Application of middle-range theories in nursing practice is improving nursing practice quality, whether developed quantitatively or qualitatively. Both approaches are at the level of practice and develop useful nursing knowledge. Consideration of middle-range theory in a generic structure of knowledge reveals that theory from the hypothetical- deductive method and theory from qualitative approaches arrives at a similar level of abstraction. In spite of different philosophical bases, methods, and approaches, the knowledge is at a similar level of abstraction. (Alligood, 2014b, p.
