Question 1

Type: MCSA

Nursing students have been assigned to develop their own theory of nursing. What should they include in their theory, often referred to as the metaparadigm for nursing?

1. Society, medicine, nursing, and biology
2. Patient, facility, health, and nursing
3. Organization, discipline, nursing, and client
4. Client, environment, health, and nursing

Correct Answer: 4

Rationale 1: These options do not include the “pattern” associated with the four concepts that comprise a metaparadigm.

Rationale 2: These options do not include the “pattern” associated with the four concepts that comprise a metaparadigm.

Rationale 3: These options do not include the “pattern” associated with the four concepts that comprise a metaparadigm.

Rationale 4: Four major concepts—person (or client), environment, health, and nursing—can be superimposed on almost any theoretical work in nursing. They are collectively referred to as a metaparadigm for nursing.

Question 2

Type: MCSA

Nursing students are researching how cultural practices affect the dying process of terminal cancer clients. For their research, which theory will the students most likely explore?

1. Critical theory
2. Midlevel theories
3. Grand theories
4. Stability models

Correct Answer: 1

Rationale 1: Critical theory research used in nursing helps explain how structures such as race, gender, sexual orientation, and economic class affect patient experiences and health outcomes. In this scenario (the influences of culture on the dying process), research on critical theory would help in understanding how these structures affect the human experience of death.

Rationale 2: Midlevel theories focus on exploring concepts such as pain, self-esteem, and learning.

Rationale 3: Grand theories are only occasionally used in nursing research. The stability model describes the dominant view of nursing theories.

Rationale 4: The stability model describes the dominant view of nursing theories.

Question 3

Type: MCSA

A nurse is caring for a client with a severe head trauma. Each shift, the nurse pays attention to the lighting, atmosphere, and surroundings the client is exposed to. The nurse is functioning according to the assumptions of which nursing theorist?

1. Dorothea Orem
2. Martha Rogers
3. Florence Nightingale
4. Jean Watson

Correct Answer: 3

Rationale 1: Dorothea Orem’s theory focused on self-care and doesn’t apply here.

Rationale 2: Rogers’s theory is the science of unitary human beings and doesn’t apply here.

Rationale 3: Florence Nightingale defined nursing more than 100 years ago as “the act of utilizing the environment of the patient to assist him in his recovery.” Attending to the client’s surroundings, including the lighting and atmosphere, is being attentive to the client’s environment. Deficiencies in environmental factors (especially air, water, drainage, cleanliness, and light) have produced lack of health or illness.

Rationale 4: Jean Watson defined nursing in relationship to caring and doesn’t apply here.
