Proposed the GRAND THEORY OF NURSING AS CARING

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: Anne Boykin and Savina Schoenhofer's Grand Theory of Nursing as Caring, from the 1990s, posits all humans as caring, with nursing responding to this ‘moral imperative' e.g., aiding a stranger instinctively. Unlike Erickson's modeling, Peterson's humanism, or Benner's skill focus, it's a grand theory emphasizing universal caring, shaping ethical nursing practice and education.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Rectal thermometers have pear-shaped or round bulbs for safety e.g., preventing injury in infants. Oral temps are less accurate than rectal (gold standard), older age lowers BMR (metabolism slows), and swimming increases BMR (activity boosts it). This design ensures accurate, safe measurement, per nursing protocols.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The pons houses pneumotaxic (rate control) and apneustic (prolonged inspiration) centers e.g., regulating breathing rhythm. Medulla sets the pattern, carotid/aortic bodies sense chemo changes. Nurses understand this e.g., in apnea cases for neurological respiratory assessment, per brain anatomy.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Early morning urine first void e.g., concentrated overnight is best for urinalysis/C&S, detecting abnormalities (glucose, bacteria). Later times dilute; midnight, pre-breakfast vary. Nurses collect this e.g., 6 AM for diagnostic accuracy, per lab protocols.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Lawrence Kohlberg's moral development theory (1950s) hinges on mutual trust e.g., fairness learned through reciprocal bonds. Freud's psychoanalysis, Erikson's stages, and Peters' principles differ. Kohlberg's stages premoral (obedience), conventional (norms), post-conventional (ethics) explain moral growth, influencing nursing ethics on trust-based patient care, like respecting autonomy in decisions.
