Which Statement Most Closely Reflects Beckstrand's Assertions About Nursing Practice

Multiple Choice

Which statement most closely reflects Beckstrand's assertions about nursing practice?

A) "Nurses require moral theories that are both explanatory and prescriptive; not only do they need to know what is good, but they also need to know how to apply these ideas of goodness in everyday practice."
B) "Nurses must develop their own unique practice theories by asking what needs to be accomplished, how it will be accomplished, and in what context it will be done."
C) "A good nursing practice theory is marked by the traits of clarity, coherence, comprehensiveness, simplicity, explanatory power, justificatory power, output power, and practicability."
D) "Nurses don't need a practice theory at all. Instead, they must have access to scientific and ethical theories, because all of the knowledge they need is reducible to these two fields."
