Why do most nursing theories reflect such strong influence from other disciplines such as sociology?
 
  1. Those disciplines are more professional than nursing.
  2. The theorists who developed nursing theories were often doing graduate work in those disciplines, not nursing.
  3. Nursing theories were developed by non-nurses.
  4. Nursing is not an independent entity, but a spin-off from other disciplines such as sociology and psychology.

Question 2

The nurse has been asked to provide a health-promotion session for a group of preschool children. Can the nurse work in this capacity?
 
  1. No; health-promotion activities are limited to individual sessions.
  2. The nurse may do so only if there is a medical order for the session.
  3. No; health promotion is effective only with adult clients.
  4. Yes; the nurse can work with groups or individuals of all ages.

Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 2

At the time that many nursing theories were developed, advanced education in nursing did not exist, so nurses were doing graduate work in related fields such as sociology and psychology. It does not mean that those disciplines are more professional than nursing or that nursing is not an independent entity. These theories were developed by nurses.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 4

In the health-promotion role, the nurse may work with individuals of all age groups and with individuals or with groups. There is no need for a medical order for these sessions; however, there may be need for parental permission, depending upon the content of the session. The activities may be limited to one session or may continue through several days or weeks.
