MULTIPLE CHOICE
1. A group of nursing students are discussing the impact of non-nursing theories in clinical practice. The
students would be correct if they chose which theory to prioritize patient care?
a. Erikson’s Psychosocial Theory
b. Paul’s Critical-Thinking Theory
c. Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs
d. Rosenstock’s Health Belief Model
Answer: C
Maslow’s hierarchy of needs specifies the psychological and physiologic factors that affect each person’s
physical and mental health. The nurse’s understanding of these factors helps with formulating Nursing
diagnoses that address the patient’s needs and values to prioritize care. Erikson’s Psychosocial Theory of
Development and Socialization is based on individuals’ interacting and learning about their world. Nurses use
concepts of developmental theory to critically think in providing care for their patients at various stages of their
lives.
Rosenstock (1974) developed the psychological Health Belief Model. The model addresses possible reasons for
why a patient may not comply with recommended health promotion behaviors. This model is especially useful
to nurses as they educate patients.

2. A nursing student is preparing study notes from a recent lecture in nursing history. The student would
credit Florence Nightingale for which definition of nursing?
a. The imbalance between the patient and the environment decreases the capacity for health.
b. The nurse needs to focus on interpersonal processes between nurse and patient.
c. The nurse assists the patient with essential functions toward independence.
, d. Human beings are interacting in continuous motion as energy fields.
Answer: A
Florence Nightingale’s (1860) concept of the environment emphasized prevention and clean air, water, and
housing. This theory states that the imbalance between the patient and the environment decreases the capacity
for health and does not allow for conservation of energy. Hildegard Peplau (1952) focused on the roles played
by the nurse and the interpersonal process between a nurse and a patient. Virginia Henderson described the
nurse’s role as substitutive (doing for the person), supplementary (helping the person), or complementary
(working with
the person), with the goal of independence for the patient. Martha Rogers (1970) developed the Science of
Unitary Human Beings. She stated that human beings and their environments are interacting in continuous
motion as infinite energy fields.
