Answer to Question 1

2
Rationale: Sleep and appetite patterns are part of the physiologic circadian rhythms and a pattern disruption may explain many mood disorder symptoms. A psychiatric diagnosis, personality patterns, and negative thought patterns are incorrect because they are not physiologic.

Answer to Question 2

1
Rationale: Jean Watson's theory of human caring emphasizes sensitivity to self and values clarification regarding personal and cultural beliefs that might pose as barriers to transpersonal caring. Roy's adaptation theory (coping and adapting to environmental stimuli), Rogers's principles of homeodynamics (human and environmental interaction), and Orem's theory of self-care (matching nursing systems of care with clients' levels of self-care functioning) have different emphases.
