Question 5 of 5
Who developed the theory that nurses assist clients with self-care to improve or to maintain health?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Dorothea Orem's self-care theory posits that nurses assist clients in performing self-care activities to maintain or improve health, emphasizing individual responsibility and nursing support when deficits arise. Developed in the mid-20th century, this theory frames nursing as a facilitative process, helping clients meet universal needs like air, water, and food, or recover from illness through tailored interventions. Florence Nightingale focused on environmental modifications to aid healing, not self-care. Virginia Henderson's Need Theory defines nursing as assisting with basic needs until independence is regained, differing from Orem's self-care focus. Sister Callista Roy's Adaptation Model centers on adjusting to stimuli, not self-care per se. Orem's framework remains influential, guiding nurses to empower clients in managing their health, particularly in chronic or rehabilitative contexts, by fostering independence and collaboration.
