Question 1 of 5
Developed the CLINICAL NURSING - A HELPING ART MODEL
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Ernestine Wiedenbach's Clinical Nursing A Helping Art Model (1960s) frames nursing as an art meeting patient needs e.g., teaching insulin use. Swanson's caring, Hall's core-care-cure, and Zderad's humanism differ. Wiedenbach's practical, clinical focus guides purposeful interventions, shaping training and bedside care with its emphasis on intentional, skilled assistance.
Question 2 of 5
A framework for health assessment that evaluates the effects of stressors to the mind, body and environment in relation with the ability of the client to perform ADL.
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Gordon's Functional Health Patterns (1980s) assess stressors' impact on mind, body, and environment re: ADLs e.g., mobility post-stroke. Head-to-toe (physical), body systems (organs), and cephalocaudal (top-down) differ. Nurses use this e.g., holistic plans for function-focused care.
