Kantian Deontology Vs. Medicine Dignity is an innate feature of human beings: they are born with it.

Theory offers structure and organization to nursing knowledge and provides a logical way of gathering information to describe‚ explain‚ and predict nursing practice. Theories describe and explain nursing and the purpose of nursing to differentiate it from other caring professions by setting boundaries. (McEwen & Wills‚ 2014‚ p. 25).
