Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 2

Conceptual models can drive nursing research, and nursing research can help to develop and prove new theories. Nursing research can be undertaken without a current model in hopes of generating new theories and models. There is no evidence that nursing research has proven that most conceptual models are false.

Correct Answer: 1

Orem's work is the self-care deficit theory of nursing. Roy's work is the Adaptation Model. Benner's work focuses on the development of a nurse from novice to expert. Leininger's work focuses on cultural aspects of care.
