Theory is an idea or set of ideas that

is intended to explain facts or
events.
It is also an idea that is suggested or
presented as possibly true but that
is not known or proven to be true.
 Theories help to show how things fit together.
The function of theory is to provide a framework
for explaining, predicting, and sometimes
controlling situations.

Direct links exist among theory, education,

research, and clinical practice. In many cases,
nursing theory guides nursing knowledge
development and directs education, research,
and practice though influences the others. The
interface between nursing experts in each area
helps to ensure that work in the other areas
remains relevant, current, and useful and
ultimately influences health.
 Language is the system of words or
signs that people use to express
thoughts and feelings to each other.

A systemic means of communicating

ideas or feelings by the use of
conventionalized signs, sounds,
gestures or marks having understood
meanings.
 Language is very important in the nursing
practice, it is the primary way for us to
know the problems and how we can
assess, diagnosed, plan, provide
intervention, and to evaluate the case of
each patient. Language helps us also
collaborate to different personnel who
are needed for patients care, like the
doctors, pharmacist, radiologists and
dieticians.
Isa reasoning that is used to
ensure comprehensible
knowledge of the terminology
and the ability to operate a
process, procedure, or service
and/or collect data consistently
reliably.
 Theory, language and operational reasoning
interrelated to each other in the sense that they
all goes together. Operation reasoning is a
reasoning that ensure comprehensive knowledge
for us to do reliable procedure, process and
service, it is also use to collect data, before we
come up to a theory, we need now to think for
the possible problems that we can solve through
theory. So, how can we collect? This is through
language; we can be able to communicate to
different people that will help us formulate the
theory, because communication is a primary
need to collect data. Data collection through
language, processing this data through operation
reasoning and we can come up to formulate
theory.
 Theory is very important; we
practiced nursing through this
theory, through this theory our
duties and nursing practice are
being improved and through this
optimum level of care are being
given to our patient legally and
ethically.
