title: Creatively teaching the interrelationships of a nursing model.
abstract: Nursing students find that the abstract description of nursing models is difficult to understand and apply. On the other hand, strategies that operationalize these concepts through concrete applications within everyday experiences help to promote the students' understanding. The author describes an exercise for teaching nursing students the central concepts of a nursing model.
