When a client who had a stroke gives up all hope of any amount of recovery, the nurse solicits a visit from a former stroke client who has physical limitations but has since gone back to work and through adaptation, can function independently at home.
 
  This nurse has fulfilled which role, according to Parse?
  1. Mobilizing transcendence
  2. Synchronizing rhythm
  3. Illuminating meaning
  4. True presence

Question 2

The client is experiencing metabolic acidosis, a condition that involves the body's pH level, carbon dioxide, and bicarbonate balance. According to Roy's model, which mode is this client responding to?
 
  1. Physiologic
  2. Self-concept
  3. Role function
  4. Interdependence

Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 3
Rationale 1: Mobilizing transcendence is dreaming of possibilities and planning to reach them.
Rationale 2: Synchronizing rhythm involves leading through discussion to recognize harmony..
Rationale 3: According to Parse's theory, illuminating meaning refers to uncovering what was and what will be. In this situation, the stroke is what was, and the client who is now independent is what could be for the nurse's current client.
Rationale 4: Nurses must provide a true presence to their clients, but this is not a role in Parse's theory; it is a behavior.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 1
Rationale 1: The physiologic mode involves the body's basic physiologic needs and ways of adapting with regard to fluid and electrolytes, activity and rest, circulation and oxygen, nutrition and elimination, protection, the senses, and neurologic and endocrine function. The pH level as well as levels of the carbon dioxide and bicarbonate ion would be physiologic mechanisms at work in the body.
Rationale 2: The self-concept mode includes the physical self and the personal self.
Rationale 3: The role function mode is determined by the need for social integration and refers to the performance of duties based on given positions within society.
Rationale 4: The interdependence mode involves one's relations with significant others and support systems that provide help, affection, and attention.
