Q

The structure of a theory provides overall form to the theory

Theoretical linkages offer a reasoned explanation of why the variables in the theory may be connected in some manner

A

structure and linkages

17
Q

The assumptions of a theory are based on what the theorist considers to be adequate empirical evidence to support propositions, on accepted knowledge, or on personal beliefs or values.

A

assumptions

18
Q

schematic representation of some aspect of reality

A

models

19
Q

Model that explains the linkages of science, philosophy, and theory accepted and applied by the discipline.

A

paradigm

20
Q

patterns or models used to show a clear relationship among the existing theoretical works in nursing

A

nursing paradigm

21
Q

organized framework of concepts and purposes designed to guide the practice of nursing.

A

nursing theory

22
Q

is the recipient of nursing care, including individual patients, groups, families, and communities. The person is central to the nursing care you provide.

nursing

Q

types of nursing theories

A

grand theory

Q

broad and complex. It does not provide guidance for specific nursing interventions; but it provides the structural framework for broad, abstract ideas about nursing

A

grand theories

28
Q

address specific phenomena and reflect practice. It tends to focus on a specific field of nursing, such as uncertainty, incontinence, social support, quality of life, and caring, rather than reflect on a wide variety of nursing care situations

A

middle-range theory

29
Q

first level of theory development. It describes a phenomenon, speculate on why they occur, and describe their consequences such as grief or caring.

A

descriptive theory

30
Q

identify conditions or factors that predict a phenomenon.
