MULTIPLE CHOICE
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
, DAWIT
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.
