MULTIPLE CHOICE n1
1. A group of nursing learners are discussing the impact of nonnursing theories in clinical
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1
n1 practice. The learners would be correct if they chose which theory to prioritize client care?
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1
a. Erikson‘s Psychosocial Theory n1 n1
b. Paul‘s Critical-Thinking Theory n1 n1
c. Maslow‘s Hierarchy of Needs n1 n1 n1
d. Rosenstock‘s Health Belief Model n1 n1 n1
CORRECT ANS: C n1 n1
FEEDBACK: Maslow‘s hierarchy of needs specifies the psychological and physiologic n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1
factors that affect each person‘s physical and mental health. The RN‘s understanding of
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1
these factors helps with formulating Nursing diagnoses that address the client‘s needs and
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1
values to prioritize care. Erikson‘s Psychosocial Theory of Development and Socialization
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1
is based on individuals‘ interacting and learning about their world. RNs use concepts of
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1
developmentaltheory to critically think in providing care for their clients at various stages of
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1
their lives.
n1 n1
Rosenstock (1974) developed the psychological Health Belief Model. The model
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1
addressespossible reasons for why a client may not comply with recommended health
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1
promotion behaviors. This model is especially useful to RNs as they educate clients.

n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1
Thelearner would credit Florence Nightingale for which definition of nursing?
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1
a. The imbalance between the client and the environment decreases the capacity
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1
forhealth. n1 n1
b. The RN needs to focus on interpersonal processes between RN and client.
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1
c. The RN assists the client with essential functions toward independence.
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1
d. Human beings are interacting in continuous motion as energy fields.
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1
CORRECT ANS: A n1 n1
FEEDBACK: Florence Nightingale‘s (1860) concept of the environment emphasized n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1
prevention and cleanair, water, and housing. This theory states that the imbalance
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1
between the client and the environment decreases the capacity for health and does not
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1
allow for conservation of energy.Hildegard Peplau (1952) focused on the roles played by
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1
the RN and the interpersonal process between a RN and a client. Virginia Henderson
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1
described the RN‘s role as substitutive (doing for the person), supplementary (helping
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1
the person), or complementary (working with the person), with the goal of independence
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1
for the client. Martha Rogers (1970) developed the Science of Unitary Human Beings.
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1
She stated that human beings and their environments are interacting in continuous motion
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1
as infinite energy fields.

American Red Cross. Dorothea Dix was the head of the U.S. Sanitary Commission, which
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1
was a forerunner of theArmy RN Corps. Linda Richards was America‘s first trained RN,

graduating from Boston‘s Women‘s Hospital in 1873, and Lena Higbee, superintendent of
