MULTIPLE CHOICE

1. A group of nursing learners are discussing the impact of non-nursing theories in clinical
practice. The learners would be correct if they chose which theory to prioritize hospital
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
ACCURATE ANSWER:-:- C
Reasoning:->>>Maslow’s hierarchy of needs specifies the psychological and physiologic
factors that affect each person’s physical and mental health. The nursing attendant understands
of these factors helps with formulating Nursing diagnoses that address the hospital 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. Nursing
attendants use concepts of developmental theory to critically think in providing care for their
hospital patients at various stages of their lives.
Rosenstock (1974) developed the psychological Health Belief Model. The model addresses
possible reasons for why a hospital patient may not comply with recommended health
promotion behaviors. This model is especially useful to nursing attendants as they educate
hospital patients.

2. A nursing learner is preparing study notes from a recent lecture in nursing history. The

capacity for health.
b. The nursing attendant needs to focus on interpersonal processes between nursing attendant and
hospital patient.
c. The nursing attendant assists the hospital patient with essential functions toward independence.
d. Human beings are interacting in continuous motion as energy fields.
ACCURATE ANSWER:-:- A
Reasoning:->>>Florence Nightingale’s (1860) concept of the environment emphasized
prevention and clean air, water, and housing. This theory states that the imbalance between
the hospital 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
nursing attendant and the interpersonal process between a nursing attendant and a hospital
patient. Virginia Henderson described the nursing attendant’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 hospital 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.

administration that are essential to advancing nursing as a profession. Associate Degree in
Nursing (ADN) programs usually are conducted in a community college setting. The nursing
curriculum focuses on adult acute and chronic disease; maternal/child health; pediatrics; and
psychiatric/mental health nursing. ADN RNs may return to school to earn a bachelor’s degree
or higher in an RN-to-BSN or RN-to-MSN program. Bachelor’s degree programs include
community health and management courses beyond those provided in an associate degree
program. A newer
practice-focused doctoral degree is the Doctor of Nursing practice (DNP), which concentrates
