A psychiatric-mental health nurse is working with a female client who has been a victim of abuse to foster a sense of empowerment and build relationships that are mutually satisfying. The nurse is incorporating the work of which theorist?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Jean Baker Miller (1927-2006) conceptualized female development within the context of experiences and relationships. The Miller relational model views the central organizing feature of women's development as a sense of connection to others. The goal of development is to increase a woman's ability to build and enlarge mutually enhancing relationships. With Neuman's model, the key components are a client system (physiological, psychological, sociocultural, developmental, spiritual) interacting with the environment. The wholistic model can be applied to prevention and treatment. Hildegarde Peplau (1909-1999) introduced the first systematic theoretic framework for psychiatric nursing and focused on the nurse-patient relationship. Self-care is the focus of the general theory of nursing initiated by Dorothea Orem.
