Answer to Question 1

Answer: 1, 2, 3, 4
Explanation: Nurses use theories to assist them to organize and think about human responses and assessment data in meaningful ways. Nursing theories guide nurses to generate goals that have meaning for patients and reflect desired outcomes to promote health and well-being. Nurses do not diagnose patient conditions; rather, this is the role of the health care provider. Nurses use theories to plan interventions that address human responses as they interact with both the internal and external environments. Nursing theories also provide guidance in the focus for nursing actions that promote health as defined by each theory.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: 2
Explanation: Nursing traditionally uses a holistic model of care. Nightingale emphasized training and education as the foundation of professional nursing. Kindness is an element of many models of nursing care but does not distinguish nurses from other care providers. Herbal remedies are not a specialty particular to nurses.
