What is nursing science?

  1. Theoretical concepts about cloud computing in healthcare

  2. The ethical application of knowledge acquired through education, research, and practice to provide services and interventions to patients in order to maintain, enhance or restore their health

  3. The use of physics to understand human biology

  4. The interpretation of laws and policies in healthcare

The correct answer is: The ethical application of knowledge acquired through education, research, and practice to provide services and interventions to patients in order to maintain, enhance or restore their health

Nursing science is not based on theoretical concepts about cloud computing, or the use of physics. Nor is it simply the interpretation of laws and policies in healthcare. Nursing science encompasses all aspects of nursing, including education, research, and practice, and uses knowledge to provide ethical care to patients in order to maintain, enhance, or restore their health.
