Comprehensive Final Test (Qns & Ans)
2025
1. Which of the following is considered a middle-range nursing
theory?
- A) Nightingale's Environmental Theory
- B) Orem's Self-Care Deficit Theory
- C) Benner's Novice to Expert Theory
- D) Roy's Adaptation Model

, - Rationale: Middle-range theories, such as Benner's Novice
to Expert Theory, focus on specific phenomena and have a more
narrow scope compared to grand theories.
2. What is the primary purpose of conducting a literature review
in nursing research?
- A) To collect data from participants
- B) To identify gaps in existing research
- C) To create a new nursing theory
- D) To develop patient care protocols
- ANS: B) To identify gaps in existing research
- Rationale: A literature review helps researchers identify
