NURSING THEORY QUESTIONS WITH ACCURATE
ANSWERS
adaptation theory correct answers Defines adaptation as the adjustment of living
matter to other living things and to environmental conditions. Occurs on 3 levels:
internal; social (with others), and physical (biochemical reactions)
basic processes in the development of nursing theories correct answers Nursing
theories are often based on and influenced by broadly applicable processes and
theories. These theories are basic to many nursing concepts:
general systems theory
adaptation theory
developmental theory
Betty Neuman correct answers 1. Neuman Systems Model
2. Based on the individual's relationship to stress, the reaction to it, and
reconstitution factors that are dynamic in nature
3. This model is applicable to a variety of nursing settings involving individuals,
families, groups and communities
4. The model has 2 theories: optimal patient stability and prevention as
intervention
5. Includes intrapersonal, interpersonal and extrapersonal stressors
6. Nursing actions (primary, secondary and tertiary levels of prevention) focus on
the variables affecting the patient's response tp stressors
components of a theory correct answers concepts
definitions
, assumptions
concept correct answers a mental idea of a phenomenon; concepts are the
building blocks of theory
conceptual model correct answers made up of concepts and propositions, they
represent ways of thinking about a problem or ways of representing how complex
things work they way they do; different frameworks will emphasize different
variables and outcomes and their interrelatedness; models may draw on a
number of theories t help understand a particle problem in a certain context or
setting. they are not always as specific as a theory
construct correct answers a phenomena that cannot be observed and must be
inferred; constructs are concepts developed or adopted for use in a particular
theory. the key concepts of a given theory are its constructs
developmental theory correct answers Outlines the process of growth and
development as orderly and predictable, the progress and behaviors of each
person are unique but influenced by heredity, experience,environment and health
factors
dorothea orem correct answers Self care maintains wholeness
Three theories: theory of self-care
Theory of self-care deficit
Theory of nursing systems
Wholly compensatory (for the patient)
Partly compensatory (helping the patient do for himself or herself)
