c. Maslow‘S Hierarchy Of Needs
d. Rosenstock‘S Health Belief Model
ANSWER: 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.

Interpersonal Process Between A Nurse And A Patient. Virginia Henderson

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
