Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The major components of nursing theory,sometimes called the metaparadigm concepts,are person,environment,health,and nursing.Family nursing practice,although perhaps focusing on all of these concepts,is not a body of knowledge.Prescriptive nursing theory addresses nursing interventions and helps predict consequences of a specific intervention.Advanced nursing practice may focus on these concepts but is not a body of knowledge specific to these concepts.
