d. Humanbeingsareinteractingincontinuousmotionasenergy fields.
ANS:A
Florence Nightingale’s (1860) concept of the environment emphasized prevention and
cleanair, water, and housing. This theory states that the imbalance between the patient and
theenvironment 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
interpersonalprocess between a nurse and a patient. Virginia Henderson described the
nurse’s role assubstitutive (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 andtheirenvironments areinteractingin continuous motionasinfinite energy

Benner’s model identifies five levels of proficiency: novice, advanced beginner,


competent,proficient, and expert. The student nurse progresses from novice to advanced
beginner duringnursing school and attains the competent level after approximately 2 to 3
years of workexperience after graduation. To obtain the RN credential, a person must
graduate from anapproved school of nursing and pass a state licensing examination called the
National CouncilLicensure Examination for Registered Nurses (NCLEX-RN) usually taken

Stressors result in illness by disrupting the equilibrium. Nursing care is directed at
alteringstimuli that are stressors to the patient. The nurse helps patients strengthen their
abilities toadapttotheirillnessesor helpsthemtodevelopadaptivebehaviors.Watson’s
theoryisbasedon caring, with nurses dedicated to health and healing. The nurse functions to
preserve thedignityandwholenessof humansinhealth orwhilepeacefullydying.Parse’stheoryis
calledthe Human Becoming School of Thought. Parse formulated the Theory of Human
Becomingby combining concepts from Martha Rogers’ Science of Unitary Human Beings
withexistential-phenomenologic thought. This theory looks at the person as a constantly
changingbeing, and at nursing as a human science. Martha Rogers (1970) developed the
Science ofUnitary Human Beings. She stated that human beings and their environments are

Hildegard Peplau focused on the roles played by the nurse and the interpersonal
processbetween a nurse and a patient. The interpersonal process occurs in overlapping phases:
(1)orientation, (2) working, consisting of two subphases: identification and exploitation, and
(3)resolution. Betty Neuman’s Systems Model includes a holistic concept and an open-
systemapproach. The model identifies energy resources that provide for basic survival, with

aspecific phenomenon such as health. The third level of knowledge is a nursing
