1. A group of nursing students are discussing the impact of nonnursing theories
in clinical practice. The students would be correct if they chose which theory to
prioritize patient care?
a. Erikson’s Psychosocial Theory
b. Paul’s Critical-Thinking Theory
c. Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs
d. Rosenstock’s Health Belief Model
ANS: C
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’ interacting and learning about 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 the psychological Health Belief Model. The model
addresses possible reasons for why a patient may not comply with recommended
,health promotion behaviors. This 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 would credit Florence Nightingale for which definition of
nursing?
a. The imbalance between the patient and the environment decreases the
capacity for health.
b. The nurse needs to focus on interpersonal processes between nurse and
patient.
c. The nurse assists the patient with essential functions toward independence.
d. Human beings are interacting in continuous motion as energy fields.
ANS: A
Florence Nightingale’s (1860) concept of the environment emphasized prevention
and clean air, water, and housing. This theory states that the imbalance between the
patient and the environment decreases the capacity for health and does not allow
for conservation of energy. Hildegard Peplau (1952) focused on the roles played by
the nurse and the interpersonal process between a nurse and a patient. Virginia
Henderson described the nurse’s role as substitutive (doing for the person),
supplementary (helping the person), or complementary (working with the person),
with the goal of independence for the patient. Martha Rogers (1970) developed the
Science of Unitary Human Beings. She stated that human beings and their
environments are interacting in continuous motion as infinite energy fields.
