  1. Self-care maintains wholeness
  2. Stimuli disrupt an adaptive system
  3. Subsystems exist in dynamic stability
  4. Caring is central to the essence of nursing

  3. Nursing care
  4. Environment

Answer to Question 1

ANS: 4
Like Benner and Wrubel's theory, Watson emphasized caring in her theory. Watson's model is designed around the caring process, assisting clients in attaining or maintaining health or in dying peacefully. The key emphasis of her theory is that caring is the moral ideal: mind-body-soul en-gagement with another.
Self-care is central to Orem's theory.
The key emphasis of Roy's theory is that stimuli disrupt an adaptive system.
The key emphasis of Johnson's theory is that subsystems exist in dynamic stability.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 4
Environment/situation includes all possible conditions affecting the client and the setting in which health care needs occur, such as the home, school, workplace, or community.
Person refers to the recipient of nursing care, including individual clients, families, and the com-munity.
Health is the goal of nursing care.
Nursing care refers to the diagnosis and treatment of human responses to actual or potential health problems (ANA, 1995).
