practice. The learners would be correct iftheychose whichtheoryto prioritize hospital patient

care?
N
a. Erikson’sPsychosocialTheory N N
b. Paul’sCritical-ThinkingTheory N N
c. Maslow’s HierarchyofNeeds N N N
d. Rosenstock’sHealth BeliefModel N N N
ACCURATE ANSWER:-:-C N N
Reasoning:->>>Maslow’s hierarchy of needs specifies the psychological and physiologic factors N N N N N N N N N
that affect each person’s physicaland mental health. The nursing attendant understands of these
N N N N N N N N N N N N N N
factors helps with formulating Nursing diagnoses that address the hospital patient’s needs and
N N N N N N N N N N N N N
values to prioritize care. Erikson’s Psychosocial Theoryof Development and Socialization is based
N N N N N N N N N N N N N
on individuals’ interacting and learning about their world. Nursing attendants use concepts of
N N N N N N N N N N N N N
developmental theoryto critically think in providing care for their hospital patients at various stages
N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N
of their lives.

Rosenstock(1974)developed thepsychologicalHealth BeliefModel. The model addresses N N N N N N N N N N
possible reasons for why a hospital patient may not comply with recommended health promotion
N N N N N N N N N N N N N N
behaviors. This model is especially useful to nursing attendants as they educate hospital patients.

d. Humanbeings are interacting in continuous motion as energyfields. N N N N N N N N N
ACCURATE ANSWER:-:-A N N
Reasoning:->>>Florence Nightingale’s (1860) concept of the environment emphasized N N N N N N N
prevention and clean air, water, and housing. This theory states that the imbalance between the
N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N
hospital patient and the environment decreases the capacity for health and does not allow for
N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N
conservation ofenergy. Hildegard Peplau (1952) focused on the roles played by the nursing
N N N N N N N N N N N N N N
attendant and the interpersonal process between a nursing attendant and a hospital patient. Virginia
N N N N N N N N N N N N N N
Henderson described the nursing attendant’s role as substitutive (doing for the person),
N N N N N N N N N N N N
supplementary(helping the person), or complementary (working with the person), with the goal of
N N N N N N N N N N N N N N
independence for the hospital patient.

Martha Rogers (1970) developed the Science of Unitary Human Beings. She stated that human
N N N N N N N N N N N N N
beings and their environments are interacting in continuous motion as infinite energy fields.

psychiatric/mental health nursing. ADN RNs may return to school to earn a bachelor’s degree or
