Answer  preview

Nursing theories are organized nursing concepts that define the scope of the nursing practice. They act as guidelines for providing care and healthcare providers’ actions to ensure that knowledge-based and quality care is provided to patients. Nursing theories help in describing the different aspects of the nursing profession. Middle-range theories offer a basis for handling complex healthcare situations and include relations between two or more concepts (Leandro, Nunes, Teixeira, Lopes, Araújo, Lima, & Silva, 2020). Middle-range theories include Orlando’s theory of the deliberative nursing process.
