🩺 Overview of Nursing Meta-paradigm and Patient Care
This paragraph discusses the key components of the nursing meta-paradigm, which include person, health, environment, and nursing. It emphasizes the importance of the nurse-patient relationship in community health settings and applies Pavlov's theory to clarify how interactions between nurses and patients develop. The role of multiple theories in nursing practice is highlighted, including systems theories, developmental theories, and interdisciplinary theories, which help in understanding and predicting patient outcomes. The paragraph also explains that theories serve to provide a framework for nursing functions and decision-making, contributing to evidence-based practices.
🌿 Nightingale's Environmental Theory and Self-Management in Nursing
This section focuses on Florence Nightingale's environmental theory, emphasizing the importance of a clean, well-ventilated, and clutter-free environment for patient care. It also discusses the application of Orem's self-care theory, which provides a framework for teaching patients self-management skills, especially for those with chronic illnesses like diabetes. The importance of integrating theory into nursing practice is stressed, highlighting how it differentiates nursing from other disciplines and promotes coordinated care delivery. The section further introduces Roy's adaptation model and Leininger's transcultural nursing theory, emphasizing the need to consider patients' cultural backgrounds and their ability to adapt to internal and external demands.
🩹 Applying Nursing Theories and Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs
This paragraph delves into applying various nursing theories in practice. It explains the application of Henderson's theory for theory-based nursing, requiring knowledge from nursing and related sciences. The text also covers the generation of nursing theory, which helps build a scientific knowledge base by identifying relationships and observations about phenomena. The importance of theory-based nursing practice in guiding assessments and interventions is discussed. Additionally, Maslow's hierarchy of needs is applied to prioritize patient care, emphasizing the immediate needs such as air, water, and nutrition. The section concludes by identifying middle-range theories and practice theories as crucial in influencing evidence-based practice and guiding specific nursing interventions, like intravenous fluid therapy.

recently lost a leg in a motor vehicle
accident
the nurse assists the patient to cope
with the situation by applying which of
the following theories
1. roy 2 levine 3 watson 4
johnson
answer 1. roy rational roy focus on
adaption and helps patient cope with
changes
watson focus on caring t transpersonal
relationship
which of the following is closely
aligned with leeninger's theory one
caring for patients from unique cultures
too
understanding the humanistic aspects of
lie three
variables affecting a patient's response
to a stressor for
caring for patients who cannot adapt to
internal and
external environmental demands
answer one caring for patients from
unique cultures rationale
language theory of transcultural nursing
focuses on
the patient's culture and the impact of
culture heritage on health care needs
and interventions
middle range theory
a patient is admitted to an acute care
area
the patient is an active businessman who
is worried about getting back to work
he has had severe diarrhea and vomiting
for the last week
he is weak and his breathing is labored
using maslow's hierarchy of needs
identify
this patient's immediate priority one
self-actualization two air water and
nutrition three
safety for esteem and self-esteem needs
answer to air water and nutrition
rationale
the immediate priority is air water and
nutrition
the patient needs to have sufficient air
exchange which might require oxygen
administration
in addition the patient needs to have
appropriate fluid balance and some
nutritional supplement
a nurse is applying henderson's theory
as a basis for theory-based nursing
practice
which other elements are important for
theory-based nursing practice
select all that apply one knowledge of
nursing science too
knowledge of related science and 3
knowledge about current health care
issues 4
knowledge of standards of practice
5. knowledge of always adapted by
patient
answer one knowledge of nursing science
too
knowledge of related science is for
knowledge of standards of practice
rationale
regardless of which particular nursing
theory is selected
the nurse must use knowledge from
nursing and related sciences experience
and standards of practice when providing
care
henderson's theory focus on principles
and practice of nursing
assist patient with 14 basic activities
which of the following statements apply
to theory generation
select all that apply one build
scientific knowledge base of nursing too

observations about a phenomenon five
it is solely based on nursing practice
answer 1. builds scientific knowledge
base of nursing too
discovers relationships of phenomena to
practice 4
identifies observations about a
phenomenon rationale
theory generating research identifies
observations or describes phenomena
it contributes to the scientific
knowledge base of nursing
relationships of the phenomena to
practice and testing specific phenomena
are part of the theory testing research
activities

theory-based nursing practice is
incorrect
one contributes to evidence-based
practice to
provides a systematic process for
designing nursing interventions
3 is not linked to nursing outcomes 4
guides the nurses assessment

address specific nursing interventions
and predict the patient response
which of the following types of theory
influence the evidence in current
evidence-based practice ebp
one grand theory 2 middle range theory 3
