Question 1 of 5

A psychiatric-mental health nurse is working on an inpatient unit that uses a privilege system. The nurse understands that this intervention integrates which group of theories?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D: Behavioral. The privilege system in the inpatient unit is based on principles of behavioral theory, specifically operant conditioning. This theory focuses on how behaviors are influenced by consequences, such as rewards and punishments. By using a privilege system, the nurse is reinforcing positive behaviors with privileges and discouraging negative behaviors by removing privileges. This approach aligns with the principles of behavioral theory, which emphasize the role of reinforcement in shaping behavior. Developmental theories focus on human growth and development over time, humanistic theories emphasize individual growth and self-actualization, and cognitive theories focus on mental processes such as thinking and perception. These theories are not directly related to the use of a privilege system in shaping behavior on an inpatient unit.
