Justifying nursing practice: the scientific rationale.
Abstract
The development of theories underlying the scientific basis for the performance of nursing care begin with sufficient curiosity to enable the exploration of the relationships between practice and outcome. For any one problem, a sound scientific rationale reflects not only 'how' (strategy), but 'why' (topic) a particular action has been chosen to resolve a particular problem and, in addition, clearly demonstrates the relationship of these elements in the light of patient assessment and nursing diagnosis.
