4. Relate the following Theories in the care of the Maternal and Child:
a. MERCER’S MATERNAL ROLE ATTAINMENT THEORY
● Ramona T. Mercer’s Maternal Role Attainment Theory
- Focuses on the mother-baby developmental and interactional process. It
provides proper health care interventions for nontraditional mothers in
order for them to favorably adopt a strong maternal identity.
b. BENNER’S THEORY
● Patricia Benner’s Novice to Expert Theory
- Nursing is a caring relationship. Nurses grow from novice to expert as
they practice in clinical settings.

c. ROY’S ADAPTATION MODEL OF NURSING

● Sister Callista Roy’s Adaptation Model of Nursing
- The role of the nurse is to aid clients to adapt to the change caused by
illness; levels of adaptation depend on the degree of environmental
change and state of coping ability; full adaptation includes physiologic
interdependence.

d. OREM’S SELF-CARE DEFICIT NURSING THEORY

● Dorothea Orem: Self-Care Deficit Nursing Theory
- The focus of nursing is on the individual; clients are assessed in terms of
ability to complete self-care. Care given may be wholly compensatory
(client has no role); partly compensatory (client participates in care); or
supportive-educational (client performs own care).
