1. A group of nursing students are discussing the impact of nonnursing theories in clinical
k k k k k k k k k k k k k
practice. The students would be correct if they chose which theory to prioritize patientcare?

a. Erikson’s Psychosocial Theory k k
b. Paul’s Critical-Thinking Theory k k
c. Maslow’s Hierarchy ofNeeds k k k
d. Rosenstock’s Health Belief Model k k k
ANS: C k
Maslow’s hierarchy of needs specifies the psychological and physiologic factors that affect
k k k k k k k k k k k
each person’s physical and mental health. The nurse’s understanding of these factors helps
k k k k k k k k k k k k k
with formulating Nursing diagnoses that address the patient’s needs and values to prioritize
k k k k k k k k k k k k k
care. Erikson’s Psychosocial Theory of Development and Socialization is based on
k k k k k k k k k k k
individuals’ interacting and learning about their world. Nurses use concepts of developmental
k k k k k k k k k k k
theory to critically think in providing care for their patients at various stages of their lives.
k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k
Rosenstock (1974) developed the psychological Health Belief Model. The modeladdresses
k k k k k k k k k
possible reasons for why a patient may not comply with recommended health promotion
k k k k k k k k k k k k k
behaviors. This model is especially useful to nurses as they educatepatients.

2. A nursing student is preparing study notes from a recent lecture in nursing history. The
k k k k k k k k k k k k k k
student would credit Florence Nightingale for which definition of nursing?
k k k k k k k k k k
a. The imbalance between the patient and the environment decreases the capacityfor
k k k k k k k k k k
health. k
b. The nurse needs to focus on interpersonal processes between nurse andpatient.

c. The nurse assists the patient with essential functions towardindependence.

k k k k k k k k
ANS: A k
Florence Nightingale’s (1860) concept of the environment emphasized prevention and clean
k k k k k k k k k k
air, water, and housing. This theory states that the imbalance between the patient and the
k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k
environment decreases the capacity for health and does not allow for conservation of energy.
k k k k k k k k k k k k k k
Hildegard Peplau (1952) focused on the roles played by the nurse and the interpersonal process
k k k k k k k k k k k k k k
between a nurse and a patient. Virginia Henderson described the nurse’s role as substitutive
k k k k k k k k k k k k k k
(doing for the person), supplementary (helping the person), or complementary (working with
k k k k k k k k k k k k
the person), with the goal of independence for the patient. Martha Rogers (1970) developed the
k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k
Science of Unitary Human Beings. She stated that human beings and their environments are
k k k k k k k k k k k k k k
interacting in continuous motion as infinite energy fields.

Clara Barton practiced nursing in the Civil War and established the American Red Cross.
k k k k k k k k k k k k k
Dorothea Dix was the head of the U.S. Sanitary Commission, which was a forerunner of the
k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k
Army Nurse Corps. Linda Richards was America’s first trained nurse, graduating from
k k k k k k k k k k k k
Boston’s Women’s Hospital in 1873, and Lena Higbee, superintendent of the U.S. Navy Nurse
k k k k k k k k k k k k k k

The Institute of Medicine report health professions Education: A Bridge to Quality (2003),

outlines five core competencies. These include patient-centered care, interdisciplinary
k k k k k k k k k
teamwork, use of evidence-based medicine, quality improvement, and use of information

Colleges of Nursing (AACN) (2008). The document offers a framework for the education of
k k k k k k k k k k k k k k
professional nurses with outcomes for students to meet. The National League for Nursing (NLN)

k k k k k k k k k k k k
hiring graduate nurses, the nurse manager realizes that they will probably not be considered

Benner’s model identifies five levels of proficiency: novice, advanced beginner, competent,
k k k k k k k k k k
proficient, and expert. The student nurse progresses from novice to advanced beginner during
k k k k k k k k k k k k k
nursing school and attains the competent level after approximately 2 to 3 years of work
k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k
experience after graduation. To obtain the RN credential, a person must graduate from an
k k k k k k k k k k k k k k
approved school of nursing and pass a state licensing examination called the National Council
k k k k k k k k k k k k k k
Licensure Examination for Registered Nurses (NCLEX-RN) usually taken soon after
k k k k k k k k k k
completion of an approved nursing program.

ANS: D k
Doctoral nursing education can result in a Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) degree. This degree
k k k k k k k k k k k k k
prepares nurses for leadership roles in research, teaching, and administration that are essential to
k k k k k k k k k k k k k k
advancing nursing as a profession. Associate Degree in Nursing (ADN) programs usually are
k k k k k k k k k k k k k
conducted in a community college setting. The nursing curriculum focuses on adult acute and
k k k k k k k k k k k k k k
chronic disease; maternal/child health; pediatrics; and psychiatric/mental health nursing. ADN
k k k k k k k k k k
RNs may return to school to earn a bachelor’s degree or higher in an RN-to-BSN or RN-to-
k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k
MSN program. Bachelor’s degree programs include community health and management
k k k k k k k k k
courses beyond those provided in an associate degree program. A newer practice-focused
k k k k k k k k k k k k
doctoral degree is the Doctor of Nursing practice (DNP), which concentrates on the clinical
k k k k k k k k k k k k k k
aspects of nursing. DNP specialties include the four advanced practice roles of NP, CNS,

CNM, and CRNA.
