According to Maslow, which of the following is TRUE about a self actualized person?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Maslow's self-actualized individual (1940s) decides independently e.g., rejecting popular trends for personal ethics. They predict events (insightful), aren't self-centered (altruistic), and minimize conflict through clarity. Nurses encourage this autonomy e.g., supporting a patient's unconventional treatment choice enhancing self-directed health decisions.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Aortic and carotid bodies, chemoreceptors, slow respiration when BP rises e.g., baroreceptors signal reduced need for O2 delivery. Increased RR (hypoxia), alkalosis (pH), or acidosis (metabolic) misalign. Nurses note this e.g., in hypertension for respiratory adjustments, per cardiovascular interplay.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Before meals e.g., fasting glucose offers accurate baseline sugar levels, unlike during (eating), between (variable), or post-meal (spike). Nurses advise this e.g., AM checks for diabetes monitoring, per endocrinology standards.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: John Westerhoff's faith theory (1970s) sees faith as evolving behavior e.g., from received to owned faith through life events. Gilligan's ethics, Fowler's abstract faith, and Freud's psychology differ. His experiential stages affiliative, searching guide nursing's spiritual care, helping patients express faith through actions, enhancing holistic support.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: Florence Nightingale was born May 12, 1820, in Florence, Italy, to British parents named for her birthplace. She trained in Germany and worked in Britain, not France. Her Italian origin ties to her environmental theory's roots, shaping nursing's global history and Crimean legacy.
