Although there are many concepts similar to that of other nursing theories, Levine’s energy

conservation concept makes it unique in guiding nursing actions. Borrowed concepts from Bates
regarding Levine’s view of the environment were not translated into how it affects the
individual. The necessity of connecting incorporated concepts is crucial when developing a
model for nursing to be applied to human care.
2. My insight is that the strength of the case study while focusing on its conservation model is
that Levine has interrelated the concepts of adaptation, conservation, and integrity in a way that
provides a nursing view different from that of the adjunctive disciplines with which nursing
shares these concepts. Levine’s work is logical. One thought or idea flows from the previous one
and into the next. Its weakness is that There are many concepts with comparatively unspecified
relationships and unstated assumptions.
