knowledge which is the inductive type of reasoning.
Empiricism
is a system of concepts and practices put in place to inform meaningful actions in
the nursing field, such as how to treat patients, how to communicate with patient families, and how to
organize nursing responsibilities. Though there are many theories, they don’t all serve the same exact
purpose. Some apply to the greater whole of all nursing, while others function only under certain
circumstances or conditions.
