"Theoretical Foundation of Nursing" deals with the meta-concepts of a person, health, environment, and nursing as viewed by the different theorists. Likewise, it includes non-nursing theories such as systems, developmental, and change theories. It presents how these concepts and theories serve as a guide to nursing practice. It further deals with health as a multifactorial phenomenon and the necessary core competencies that the nurse needs to develop. The students are expected to demonstrate the knowledge and principles gained from the course and apply them in formulating an appropriate patient care plan.
