Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 2

Orem postulates that nursing systems form when nurses prescribe design, and provide nursing that regulates the individual's self-care capabilities and meets therapeutic self-care requirements. She identifies three types of nursing systems: (1) wholly compensatory in which the client is unable to control and monitor their environment and process information; (2) partly compensatory designed for individuals who are unable to perform some (but not all) self-care activities; and (3) supportive-educative designed for persons who need to learn to perform self-care measures and need assistance to do so.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 3

Central to Leininger's work is the belief that cultures have differences in their ways of perceiving, knowing, and practicing care, but that there are also commonalities about care among cultures. She says there can be no cure without caring, but that there may be caring without curing. She emphasizes that human caring, although a universal phenomenon, varies among cultures in its expressions, processes, and patterns; it is largely culturally derived. She does not believe one culture is superior to any other.
