Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Henderson defines nursing as assisting the patient with 14 activities (hygiene, positioning) until patients can meet these needs for themselvesor assist patients to have a peaceful death. Roy's model is to help the person adapt to changes in physiological needs, self-concept, role function, and interdependence domains. Watson's theory believes that the purpose of nursing is to understand the interrelationship between health, illness, and human behavior. The goal of Orem's theory is to help the patient perform self-care.

Answer to Question 2
