✔✔While working in a community health clinic, it is important to obtain nursing histories
and get to know the patients. Part of history taking is to develop the nurse-patient
relationship. Which of the following apply to Peplau's theory when establishing the
nurse-patient relationship? (Select all that apply.)
A. An interaction between the nurse and patient must develop.
B. The patient's needs must be clarified and described.
C. The nurse-patient relationship is influenced by patient and nurse preconceptions.
D. The nurse-patient relationship is influenced only by the nurse's preconceptions. -
✔✔A. An interaction between the nurse and patient must develop.
B. The patient's needs must be clarified and described.
C. The nurse-patient relationship is influenced by patient and nurse preconceptions.
The nurse-patient relationship is influenced only by the nurse preconceptions; is
incorrect because the focus is only on the nurse.
✔✔Theory-based nursing practice uses a theoretical approach for nursing care. This
approach moves nursing forward as a science. This suggests that:
A. One theory will guide nursing practice.
B. Scientists will decide nursing decisions.
C. Nursing will only base patient care on the practice of other sciences.
D. Theories will be tested to describe or predict patient outcomes - ✔✔D. Theories will
be tested to describe or predict patient outcomes
There are multiple theories for the practice of nursing; these theories are tested to
develop the evidence to describe or predict patient outcomes.
✔✔To practice in today's health care environment, nurses need a strong scientific
knowledge base from nursing and other disciplines such as the physical, social, and
behavioral sciences. This statement identifies the need for which of the following?
A. Systems theories
B. Developmental theories
C. Interdisciplinary theories
D. Health and wellness models - ✔✔C. Interdisciplinary theories
As the health system evolves and the health care needs of the patient focus on health
promotion, illness prevention, and treatment, more disciplines are involved in patient
care. To be effective in practice nurses need to be aware of theoretical approaches of
care arising from other disciplines and from nursing.
,✔✔Which of the following theories describe the life processes of an older adult facing
chronic illness?
A. Systems theories
B. Developmental theories
C. Interdisciplinary theories
D. Health and wellness models - ✔✔B. Developmental theories
Developmental theories describe and predict behavior and development at various
phases of the life continuum, as in the phase of older adulthood.
✔✔Match the following components of systems theory with the definition of that
component.
A. Feedback
B. Input
C. Content
D. Output
1. Data entering the system
2. End product
3. Data related to system functioning
4. Product and information obtained from the system - ✔✔A. Feedback----3. Data
related to system functioning
B. Input----- 1. Data entering the system
C. Content-----4. Product and information obtained from the system
D. Output---- 2. End product
✔✔A patient is admitted to an acute care area. The patient is an active business man
who is worried about getting back to work. He has had severe diarrhea and vomiting for
the last week. He is weak, and his breathing is labored. Using Maslow's hierarchy of
needs, identify this patient's immediate priority.
A. Self-actualization
B. Air, water, and nutrition
C. Safety
D. Esteem and self-esteem needs - ✔✔B. Air, water, and nutrition
The immediate priority is air, water, and nutrition. The patient needs to have sufficient
air exchange, which might require oxygen administration. In addition the patient needs
to have appropriate fluid balance and some nutritional supplement.
✔✔Match the following theories with their definitions.
A. Grand theory
, B. Middle-range theory
C. Descriptive theory
D. Prescriptive theory
1. Addresses specific phenomena and reflect practice
2. First level in theory development and describes a phenomenon
3. Provides a structural framework for broad concepts about nursing
4. Linked to outcomes (consequences of specific nursing interventions) - ✔✔A. Grand
theory---- 3. Provides a structural framework for broad concepts about nursing
B. Middle-range theory----1. Addresses specific phenomena and reflect practice
C. Descriptive theory---- 2. First level in theory development and describes a
phenomenon
D. Prescriptive theory----4. Linked to outcomes (consequences of specific nursing
interventions)
✔✔Which of the following is closely aligned with Leininger's theory?
A. Caring for patients from unique cultures
B. Understanding the humanistic aspects of life
C. Variables affecting a patient's response to a stressor
D. Caring for patients who cannot adapt to internal and external environmental
demands - ✔✔A. Caring for patients from unique cultures
Leininger's theory of transcultural nursing focuses on the patient's culture and the
impact of culture heritage on health care needs and interventions.
✔✔A nurse is applying Henderson's theory as a basis for theory based-nursing practice.
Which other elements are important for theory-based nursing practice? (Select all that
apply.)
A. Knowledge of nursing science
B. Knowledge of related sciences
C. Knowledge about current health care issues
D. Knowledge of standards of practice - ✔✔A. Knowledge of nursing science
B. Knowledge of related sciences
D. Knowledge of standards of practice
Regardless of which particular nursing theory is selected, the nurse must use
knowledge from nursing and related sciences, experience, and standards of practice
when providing care.
✔✔Which of the following statements apply to theory generation? (Select all that apply.)
A. Builds scientific knowledge base of nursing
B. Discovers relationships of phenomena to practice
