According to Rogers, this is the fundamental unit of the living and the non-living.
What is energy fields?

The Science of Unitary Human Beings is a unique and radically different way of looking at nursing phenomena. Some suggest this makes SUHB a unique _________.
What is a paradigm?
100
The Time Metaphor Test and Human Field Motion Tool attempted to measure some concepts of Rogerian science. However, this was not explained by the empirical evidence.
What is the phenomena of concern?
100
SUHB successfully reflects this evaluation criteria by upholding only one category of nursing knowledge.
What is local congruency?
100
The feeling you get when trying to understand the esoteric terminology within Rogers' SUHB.
What is alienation?
200
A defining characteristic of energy fields that allows for interchange.
What is openness, or open systems?
200
Science of Unitary Human Beings provides a framework under which Rogers' unique concepts and principles of the discipline can be identified. This how SUHB is traditionally classified.
What is a grand theory of nursing.
200
Speaking to congruence: Most theories derived from SUHB only deal with one concept of SUHB at a time (pandimensionality or energy fields, but not both), this would make SUHB as a whole model less _________.
What is testable?
200
SUHB upholds the social expectation that patients be an active partner in decisions about their health care. However, it includes concepts and ideas that the mainstream consumer may not be totally ready to accept. This makes SUHB's _____________ unclear.
What is social congruency?
200
The concepts and propositions of SUHB are abstract and general. The conceptual model must be distilled and processed before it can be applied to practice, which calls into questions the legitimate ________ of SUHB.
What is utility?
300
Changes in the energy fields that may manifest as pain or illness.
What is pattern?
300
Science of Unitary Human Beings is incredibly abstract and generalized in its concepts and propositions, and has guided the development of other theories. This makes __________ a more accurate categorization of SUHB.
What is a conceptual model?
300
Many theories and models have been built upon the concepts in SUHB and has thoroughly stimulated debate within the discipline. (There is even a whole journal dedicated to Rogerian science!) This would suggest that SUHB has made ___________ contributions to nursing.
What is significant?
300
These four metaparadigms are easily linked together by the propositions in SUHB.
What is human beings, environment, health and nursing?
300
SUHB is internally congruent, is substantiated by volumes of peer review, has been a guide for nursing knowledge, education and administration. These factors support SUHB as a _______ or ________ conceptual model.
What is sound or believable?
400
A framework for understanding paranormal phenomena, Rogers proposed this nonlinear reality without temporal or spatial constraints.
What is pandimensionality?
400
This is the study of the fundamental nature of knowledge, reality, and existence, esp. when considered as an academic discipline.
What is philosophy?
400
There is a lot of research to come from Rogers' ideas, developing innovative methods to measure energy field manifestations. However, this is almost entirely qualitative study and sometimes anecdotal, and we currently do not have great empirical indicators for SUHB itself. Therefore, this outcome of the evaluation is mixed.
What is operational adequacy?
400
SUHB is immensely clear in its definition of concepts and propositions, albeit very abstract in nature, but made it possible for this to happen.
What is the generation of many theories?
400
Rogers demonstrated this criteria by creating clear definitions of a new paradigm upholding humans and environment as core nursing phenomena.
What is explicit boundaries?
500
Due to this, the Rogerian nurse does not focus on causes, but rather how the client wants to change
What is acausality?
500
Rogers' wrote that this is the expression of the "imaginative and creative use of knowledge for the betterment of man".
What is the art of nursing?
500

What is parsimonious?
500
The content of SUHB and its components are distinct and logically flow with each other, giving it _____________.
What is internal congruency?
500

What is generality?
