1. A group of nursing students are discussing the impact of nonnursing 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
ANS: 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.
ANS: 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.
