Question 1 of 5
A theory is a set of concepts, definitions, relationships and assumptions that:
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: A theory e.g., Henderson's uses concepts (e.g., breathing), definitions (clarifying terms), relationships (how needs interact), and assumptions (e.g., patients seek independence) to explain phenomena like recovery. This informs nursing actions e.g., why positioning aids breathing. Formulating legislation is policy, not theory's role indirectly influenced. Measuring functions suits research, not theory's explanatory purpose. Reflecting the domain describes scope, not function explanation is active. Theories explain health-related events, providing nurses frameworks to understand and address client needs, making this the precise definition.
