1. Deductive and Inductive reasoning: Theory is derived from what principles
2. one examines a general idea and then considers specific actions or ideas-
: deductive reasoning
3. one builds from specific ideas or actions to conclusions about general ideas.:
Inductive Reasoning
4. serves the purposes of describing, explaining, predicting, and controlling desired
outcomes of nursing care practices. Thus, theories provide a means of testing knowledge
through research and for expanding nursing's knowledge base to meet the health
care needs of patients in an ever-changing society: - How does nursing theory different
from other theories
5. General Systems
Adaptation
Developmental: Types of theory
6. Describes how to break whole things into parts and then to learn how the parts
work together in "systems." It emphasizes relationships between the whole and the
parts and describes how parts function and behave.: General Systems
7. Adjustment of living matter to other living things and to environmental con- ditions.
Adaptation is a continuously occurring process that effects change and involves
interaction and response.
-Internal
-Social
-Physical: Adaptation
8. Developmental theory outlines the process of growth and development of humans
as orderly and predictable, beginning with conception and ending with death.
Erikson and Maslow: Developmental
9. Descriptive and Prescriptive: Nursing theories are
10. Describe a phenomenon, an event, a situation, or a relationship. They further
identify the properties and components of each of these as well as the circumstances in
which it occurs.: Descriptive
11. Address nursing interventions and the consequences of those interven- tions;
they are designed to control, promote, and change clinical nursing practice.:
Prescriptive
12. descriptive, correlational, quasi-experimental, experimental: Types of
Quantitative Research

identifying relationships between and among events; often used to gen-
