ANS: C zb
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‘ interactingand learningabout 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 thepsychological Health Belief Model. The model addresses zb zb zb zb zb zb zb zb zb zb
possible reasons for why a patient may not comply with recommended health promotion

student would credit Florence Nightingale for which definition of nursing?

ANS: A zb
Florence Nightingale‘s (1860) concept of the environment emphasized prevention and clean air,
zb zb zb zb zb zb zb zb zb zb zb
water, and housing. This theory states that the imbalance between the patient and the
zb zb zb zb zb zb zb zb zb zb zb zb zb zb
environment decreases the capacityfor health and does not allow for conservation of energy.

Hildegard Peplau (1952) focused on the roles played by the nurse and the interpersonal process
zb zb zb zb zb zb zb zb zb zb zb zb zb zb zb
between a nurse and a patient. Virginia Henderson described the nurse‘s role as substitutive
zb zb zb zb zb zb zb zb zb zb zb zb zb zb
(doing for the person), supplementary (helping the person), or complementary (working with
zb zb zb zb zb zb zb zb zb zb zb zb
the person), with the goal of independence for the patient. Martha Rogers (1970) developed the
zb zb zb zb zb zb zb zb zb zb zb zb zb zb zb
Science of Unitary Human Beings. She stated that human beings and their environments are

interacting in continuous motion as infinite energy fields.

8. The nurse is caring for a patient who refuses two units of packed red blood cells. When the
zb zb zb zb zb zb zb zb zb zb zb zb zb zb zb zb zb
nurse notifies the health care provider of the patient’s decision, the nurse is acting in which
zb zb zb zb zb zb zb zb zb zb zb zb zb zb zb zb
role?
zb
a. Manager
b. Change agent zb
c. Advocate
d. Educator
ANS: C zb
As the patient’s advocate, the nurse interprets information and provides the necessary
zb zb zb zb zb zb zb zb zb zb zb
education. The nurse then accepts and respects the patient’s decisions even if they are
zb zb zb zb zb zb zb zb zb zb zb zb zb zb
different from the nurse’s own beliefs. The nurse supports the patient’s wishes and
zb zb zb zb zb zb zb zb zb zb zb zb zb
communicates them to other health care providers. A nurse manages all of the activities and
zb zb zb zb zb zb zb zb zb zb zb zb zb zb zb
treatments for patients. In the role of change agent, the nurse works with patients to address
zb zb zb zb zb zb zb zb zb zb zb zb zb zb zb zb
their health concerns and with staff members to address change in an organization or within a
zb zb zb zb zb zb zb zb zb zb zb zb zb zb zb zb
community. The nurse ensures that the patient receives sufficient information on which to
zb zb zb zb zb zb zb zb zb zb zb zb zb
base consent for care and related treatment. Education becomes a major focus of discharge
zb zb zb zb zb zb zb zb zb zb zb zb zb zb
planning so that patients will be prepared to handle their own needs at home.

zb zb zb zb zb zb zb zb zb zb zb zb zb zb zb zb zb zb

Evidence-based practice (EBP) is an integration of the best-available research evidence with zb zb zb zb zb zb zb zb zb zb zb
clinical judgment about a specific patient situation. The nurse assesses current and past
zb zb zb zb zb zb zb zb zb zb zb zb zb
research, clinical guidelines, and other resources to identifyrelevant literature. The application of
zb zb zb zb zb zb zb zb zb zb zb zb zb
EBP includes critically appraising the evidence to assess its validity, designing a change for
zb zb zb zb zb zb zb zb zb zb zb zb zb zb
practice, assessing the need for change and identifying a problem, and integrating and
zb zb zb zb zb zb zb zb zb zb zb zb zb
maintaining change while monitoring process and outcomes by reevaluating the application of

evidence and assessing areas for improvement.
