Final Answer :
B,C,D,E

The nurse should identify statements, definitions, phenomena, and assumptions when trying to identify the theory used in a nursing journal. A paradigm is a broader theoretical framework that encompasses multiple theories, so it may not be relevant to identifying a specific theory used in a study.
