MULTIPLE CHOICE L
1. A group of students are discussing the impact of non-nursing theories in clinical practice. The
L L L L L L L L L L L L L L
Lstudents would be correct if they chose which theory to prioritize patient care?
L L L L L L L L L L L L
a. Erikson’s Psychosocial Theory L L
b. Paul’s Critical Thinking Theory L L L
c. Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs L L L
d. Rosenstock’s Health Belief Model L L L
ANS: C L
Maslow’s hierarchy of needs specifies the psychological and physiologic factors that affect
L L L L L L L L L L L
each person’s physical and mental health. The nurse’s understanding of these factors helps
L L L L L L L L L L L L L
with formulating nursing diagnoses that address the patient’s needs and values to prioritize
L L L L L L L L L L L L L
care. Erikson’s Psychosocial Theory of Development and Socialization is based on
L L L L L L L L L L L
individuals’ interacting and learning about their world. Nurses use concepts of developmental
L L L L L L L L L L L L
theory to critically think in providing care for their patients at various stages of their lives.
L L L L L L L L L L L L L L L L
Rosenstock (1974) developed the psychological Health Belief Model. The model addresses possible
L L L L L L L L L L L
reasons for why a patient may not comply with recommended health promotion behaviors. This
L L L L L L L L L L L L L L
model is especially useful to nurses as they educate patients.

2. A nursing student is preparing study notes from a recent lecture in nursing history. The student
L L L L L L L L L L L L L L L
Lwould credit Florence Nightingale for which definition of nursing?
L L L L L L L L
a. The imbalance between the patient and the environment decreases the capacity for
L L L L L L L L L L L
health.
L
b. The nurse needs to focus on interpersonal processes between nurse and patient.
L L L L L L L L L L L
c. The nurse assists the patient with essential functions toward independence.
L L L L L L L L L
d. Human beings are interacting in continuous motion as energy fields.
L L L L L L L L L
ANS: A L
Florence Nightingale’s (1860) concept of the environment emphasized prevention and clean
L L L L L L L L L L
air, water, and housing. This theory states that the imbalance between the patient and the
L L L L L L L L L L L L L L L
environment decreases the capacity for health and does not allow for conservation of energy.
L L L L L L L L L L L L L L
Hildegard Peplau (1952) focused on the roles played by the nurse and the interpersonal
L L L L L L L L L L L L L L
process between a nurse and a patient. Virginia Henderson described the nurse’s role as
L L L L L L L L L L L L L L
substitutive (doing for the person), supplementary (helping the person), or complementary
L L L L L L L L L L L
(working with the person), with the ultimate goal of independence for the patient. Martha
L L L L L L L L L L L L L L
Rogers (1970) developed the Science of Unitary Human Beings. She stated that human beings
L L L L L L L L L L L L L L
and their environments are interacting in continuous motion as infinite energy fields.

L L L L L L L L L L L L L
Dorothea Dix was the head of the U.S. Sanitary Commission, which was a forerunner of the
L L L L L L L L L L L L L L L L
Army Nurse Corps. Linda Richards was America’s first trained nurse, graduating from
L L L L L L L L L L L L
Boston’s Women’s Hospital in 1873, and Lena Higbee, superintendent of the U.S. Navy Nurse

The Institute of Medicine report, Health Professions Education: A Bridge to Quality (2003),

outlines five core competencies. These include patient-centered care, interdisciplinary
L L L L L L L L L
teamwork, use of evidence-based medicine, quality improvement, and use of information
L L L L L L L L L L L
technology. QSEN added safety as a sixth competency. The Essentials of Baccalaureate
L L L L L L L L L L L L
Education for Professional Nursing Practice are provided and updated by the American
L L L L L L L L L L L L
Association of Colleges of Nursing (AACN) (2008). The document offers a framework for the
L L L L L L L L L L L L L L
education of professional nurses with outcomes for students to meet. The National League for
L L L L L L L L L L L L L L
Nursing (NLN) outlines and updates competencies for practical, associate, baccalaureate, and
