1. Contemporary nursing practice is based on knowledge generated through nursing theorie
<i <i <i <i <i <i <i <i <i <i
s.Florence Nightingales theory introduced the concept that nursing care focuses on:

1 Psychological needs <i
2 A maximal level of wellness
<i <i <i <i
3 Health maintenance and restoration <i <i <i
4 Interpersonal interactions with the client <i <i <i <i
ANS: 3 <i
Florence Nightingale believed the role of the nurse was to put the clients body in the best state i

norder to remain free of disease or to recover from disease.

Although Florence Nightingale may have addressed meeting the psychological needs of her cli
<i <i <i <i <i <i <i <i <i <i <i <i
ents, it is not the focus of her theory. The goal of Nightingales theory is to facilitate the bodysr
<i <i <i <i <i <i <i <i <i <i <i <i <i <i <i <i <i <i <

eparative processes by manipulating the clients environment.
<i <i <i <i <i <i
Florence Nightingale thought the human body had reparative properties of its own if it was care
<i <i <i <i <i <i <i <i <i <i <i <i <i <i <i
dfor in a way to recover from disease. Her theory did not focus on achieving a maximal level of
<
i <i <i <i <i <i <i <i <i <i <i <i <i <i <i <i <i <i <i
wellness.

Florence Nightingale believed the nurse was in charge of the clients health. Although she i
<i <i <i <i <i <i <i <i <i <i <i <i <i <i
nteracted with her clients by reading to them, her theory of nursing care did not focus upo

ninterpersonal interactions.
