Chapter 01: Nursing, Theory, and Professional Practice
MULTIPLE CHOICE
1. A group of nursing students are discussing the impact of no nursing theories in clinical
practice. The students would be correct if they chose which theory to prioritize patient
care?
a. Erikson’s Psychosocial Theory
b. Paul’s Critical-Thinking Theory
c. Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs
d. Rosenstock’s Health Belief Model
ANS: C
Maslow’s hierarchy of needs specifies the psychological and physiologic factors that affect each
person’s physical and mental health. The nurse’s understanding of these factors helps with formulating
Nursing diagnoses that address the patient’s needs and values to prioritize care. Erikson’s
Psychosocial Theory of Development and Socialization is based on individuals’ interacting and learning
about their world. Nurses use concepts of developmentaltheory to critically think in providing care for
their patients at various stages of their lives.
Rosenstock (1974) developed the psychological Health Belief Model. The model addressespossible
reasons for why a patient may not comply with recommended health promotion behaviors. This model
is especially useful to nurses as they educate patients.

2. A nursing student is preparing study notes from a recent lecture in nursing history.
Thestudent would credit Florence Nightingale for which definition of nursing?
a. The imbalance between the patient and the environment decreases the capacity
forhealth.
b. The nurse needs to focus on interpersonal processes between nurse and patient.
c. The nurse assists the patient with essential functions toward independence.
d. Human beings are interacting in continuous motion as energy fields.
ANS: A
Florence Nightingale’s (1860) concept of the environment emphasized prevention and clean air, water,
and housing. This theory states that the imbalance between the patient and the environment decreases
the capacity for health and does not allow for conservation of energy.Hildegard Peplau (1952) focused
on the roles played by the nurse and the interpersonal process between a nurse and a patient. Virginia
Henderson described the nurse’s role as substitutive (doing for the person), supplementary (helping the
person), or complementary (working with the person), with the goal of independence for the patient.
Martha Rogers (1970) developed the Science of Unitary Human Beings. She stated that human beings
and their environments are interacting in continuous motion as infinite energy fields.

Benner’s model identifies five levels of proficiency: novice, advanced beginner, competent, proficient,
and expert. The student nurse progresses from novice to advanced beginner during nursing school and
attains the competent level after approximately 2 to 3 years of work experience after graduation. To
obtain the RN credential, a person must graduate from an approved school of nursing and pass a state
licensing examination called the National CouncilLicensure Examination for Registered Nurses
(NCLEX-RN) usually taken soon after completion of an approved nursing program.

b. Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN)
c. Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP)
d. Doctor of Philosophy in Nursing (PhD)
ANS: D
Doctoral nursing education can result in a Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) degree. This degree prepares
nurses for leadership roles in research, teaching, and administration that are essentialto advancing
nursing as a profession. Associate Degree in Nursing (ADN) programs usually are conducted in a
community college setting. The nursing curriculum focuses on adult acuteand chronic disease;
maternal/child health; pediatrics; and psychiatric/mental health nursing. ADN RNs may return to school
to earn a bachelor’s degree or higher in an RN-to-BSN or RN-to-MSN program. Bachelor’s degree
programs include community health and management courses beyond those provided in an associate
degree program. A newer
practice-focused doctoral degree is the Doctor of Nursing practice (DNP), which concentrateson the
clinical aspects of nursing. DNP specialties include the four advanced practice roles of
NP, CNS, CNM, and CRNA.
