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

Thelearner would credit Florence Nightingale for which definition of nursing?

a. The imbalance between the client and the environment decreases the capacity

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