Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Joyce Travelbee's Interpersonal Theory, from the 1960s, views nursing as a human-to-human relationship during illness e.g., helping a patient find meaning in cancer. Swanson's caring processes, Zderad's humanism, and Peplau's therapeutic focus differ. Travelbee's emphasis on interpersonal coping and meaning-making, distinct from Parse's human becoming, guides nurses in emotional support, especially in terminal care.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Maslow's hierarchy (1940s) outlines needs physiological to self-actualization but they aren't rigidly sequential e.g., skipping food for a concert. Common needs (air, water), internal stimuli (hunger), and external triggers (stress) hold true. Nursing recognizes this flexibility, prioritizing patient-specific needs over strict order, enhancing individualized care planning.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Convection dissipates heat via air movement e.g., a fan cooling a feverish patient. Conduction (direct contact), radiation (infrared), and evaporation (sweat) differ. Nurses use this principle e.g., adjusting room airflow to manage hyperthermia, aligning with thermoregulation basics in patient care.
