Practice, 3rd Edition
MULTIPLE CHOICE
1. A group of nursing learners are discussing the impact of nonnursing theories in
clinical practice. The learners would be correct if they chose which theory to prioritize
client care?
a. Erikson‘s Psychosocial Theory
b. Paul‘s Critical-Thinking Theory
c. Maslow‘s Hierarchy of Needs
d. Rosenstock‘s Health Belief Model
CORRECT ANS: C
FEEDBACK: Maslow‘s hierarchy of needs specifies the psychological and physiologic
factors that affect each person‘s physical and mental health. The RN‘s understanding of
these factors helps with formulating Nursing diagnoses that address the client‘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. RNs use
concepts of developmentaltheory to critically think in providing care for their clients at
various stages of their lives.
Rosenstock (1974) developed the psychological Health Belief Model. The model
addressespossible reasons for why a client may not comply with recommended health
promotion behaviors. This model is especially useful to RNs as they educate clients.

2. A nursing learner is preparing study notes from a recent lecture in nursing
history. Thelearner would credit Florence Nightingale for which definition of
nursing?
a. The imbalance between the client and the environment decreases the
capacity forhealth.
b. The RN needs to focus on interpersonal processes between RN and client.
c. The RN assists the client with essential functions toward independence.
d. Human beings are interacting in continuous motion as energy fields.
CORRECT ANS: A
FEEDBACK: Florence Nightingale‘s (1860) concept of the environment emphasized
prevention and cleanair, water, and housing. This theory states that the imbalance
between the client 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 RN and the interpersonal process between a RN and a client. Virginia
Henderson described the RN‘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 client. 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.
