True or False: In a concept map, each link between problems must have an evidence-based
rationale with an in-text citatio - answer☑️✔️.False. The links made between problems are
using your own knowledge and reasoning. The interventions, however, must be evidence-based
and have a citation.
__________ are guiding principles that shape what we find important, while __________ are
ideas we accept as true, whether or not they are based on fact. - answer☑️✔️.Values, Beliefs.

According to Virginia Henderson's philosophy, which of the following best describes the unique
function of the nurse?
A. To modify the patient's environment to promote adaptation
B. To assist individuals in activities they would perform independently if able
C. To develop transpersonal caring relationships with patients
D. To set mutual goals with patients for health restoration - answer☑️✔️.B. Rationale:
Henderson defined the unique function of the nurse as assisting "the individual, sick or well, in
the performance of those activities contributing to health or its recovery (or a peaceful death)
that he would perform unaided if he had the necessary strength, will or knowledge." Option A
describes Roy's model, option C describes Watson's philosophy, and option D describes King's
theory.
True or False: The "as evidenced by" portion of a nursing diagnosis lists subjective and objective
data that support the problem. - answer☑️✔️.True
A medical-surgical nurse is caring for a 55-year-old man newly diagnosed with type 2 diabetes.
The nurse assesses that he can walk independently, feed himself, and manage his own hygiene,
but he has no knowledge of blood glucose monitoring, insulin administration, or diabetic diet.
The nurse develops a teaching plan focused on diabetes self-management skills, knowing that
once he learns these skills, he won't need nursing support for his diabetes care.
Which model is guiding this nurse's practice? - answer☑️✔️.Orem's Self-Care Model
Rationale: The nurse assessed the patient's self-care deficits (lacks knowledge about diabetes
management) and is providing supportive-educative care to fill those gaps. The goal is for the
patient to become independent in self-care. This is Orem's approach - identifying what patients
