Question 1 of 5
The nurse is instructing a 65-year-old female client diagnosed with osteoporosis. The most important instruction regarding exercise would be to
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Weight-bearing exercises help maintain bone density in osteoporosis.
Question 2 of 5
According to her, Nursing is a helping or assistive profession to persons who are wholly or partly dependent or when those who are supposedly caring for them are no longer able to give care.
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Dorothy Orem's Self-Care Deficit Theory defines nursing as a profession that assists individuals who cannot fully care for themselves due to dependency or lack of support. Developed in the 1950s, her theory posits that people naturally perform self-care activities like eating or hygiene to sustain life and well-being. When illness, injury, or absence of caregivers creates a deficit, nurses step in to help, either fully (e.g., feeding a paralyzed patient) or partially (e.g., teaching insulin administration). Unlike Henderson, who focused on universal needs, Orem emphasized self-care agency. Swanson's caring processes and Neuman's stressor management differ in focus neither frame nursing as primarily assistive in dependency. Orem's model guides nurses to assess deficits (e.g., a stroke patient's mobility) and intervene (e.g., physical therapy), aiming to restore independence or compensate permanently, a practical approach still used in rehabilitation and chronic care settings.
Question 3 of 5
Conceptualized the BEHAVIORAL SYSTEM MODEL
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Dorothy Johnson's Behavioral System Model, from the 1960s, views humans as behavioral systems with seven subsystems (e.g., attachment) e.g., adjusting a child's feeding routine to stressors. Orem focuses on self-care, Henderson on needs, and Parse on becoming. Johnson's model helps nurses modify behaviors for equilibrium, influencing behavioral assessments in pediatric and psychiatric nursing.
Question 4 of 5
She conceptualized that man, as an Open system is in constant interaction and transaction with a changing environment.
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Callista Roy's Adaptation Model (1970s) frames humans as open systems, constantly exchanging with environments e.g., a patient's mood lifts with praise. Unlike Levin's conservation, Neuman's stressor focus, or Newman's health expansion, Roy's theory emphasizes adaptation to stimuli, guiding nurses in dynamic care adjustments like stress management.
Question 5 of 5
Which of the following is true about the NURSING CARE PLAN?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Nursing care plans are nurse-centered designed by nurses to address patient needs e.g., managing pain. Rationales justify interventions (not vice versa), they're written (not verbal), and goals vary (not fixed at two). This nurse-driven tool, per NANDA, ensures systematic, patient-focused care delivery.
