MULTIPLE CHOICE
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

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

,[Type text]
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.
