Explanation / Answer
4) Nursing theory guides nursing practice and improves knowledge. In the article given in question, middle range theory which addresses specific issues is used. The study described about the effects of stressful events and perceived social support on quality of life in coronary artery disease patients.
In these vulnerable populations, prescriptive nursing theories are more useful. Prescriptive nursing theories address nursing interventions and predict their consequences which would provide knowledge to improve nursing practice.
