Sampling theory is the study of relationships between samples withdrawn from a population in the specific research. It typically carries a process of scrutiny from a community or particular backgrounds and later derives distributed data samples. The mod of sample collections is is uses random selections in the areas of research. There are three fundamental elements used in this theory. Its framework is established on the collection, sampling and advanced analysis. It integrates applications of various features when capturing data. For instance, it may include observation, population parameters, probability theory and priority is given factors before arriving on the entire decision its highly build on statistical parameters when analyzing and making an effective conclusion. It uses a mathematical formula and approaches to illustrate the best outcome and estimates precisions (Mike Allen, 2017) 

Besides, the theory gives a roadmap and a strategy that should be followed when researching a particular area. Different framework and techniques are applied to the separate ground when collecting data based on various aspects of a community. A typical example of this theory is research that has been initiated to understanding the behaviour of a community. Analysis, sampling, questioning and form filling can be used to get data from a section of the community. This can later are subjected to serious examination and depict complete information of the given society.

Generalization if one of the professional approaches applied in nursing. It's a measure used to identify the usefulness of a study and result in Ian broader group of people and situations. This technique is suitable when handling different types of personalities and a wide range of study framework. It helps in attaining the most correct, valid and reliable result from a study work. It’s applied when handing X-linked hydrocephalus cases and post-hemorrhagic hydrocephalus patients. Nurses use it because of the long term cognitive results that are attained in the entire process (Benedetto & Ferreira, 2012).
