Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 2
Rationale 1: Florence Nightingale's theory focused on environmental controls.
Rationale 2: Hildegard Peplau, a psychiatric nurse, introduced a theory in which a therapeutic relationship between the nurse and client is central.
Rationale 3: Jean Watson's theory has caring as its central theme.
Rationale 4: Dorothea Orem's theory focused on self-care deficit.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 3
Rationale 1: Dorothea Orem's theory focused on self-care and doesn't apply here.
Rationale 2: Rogers's theory is the science of unitary human beings and doesn't apply here.
Rationale 3: Florence Nightingale defined nursing more than 100 years ago as the act of utilizing the environment of the patient to assist him in his recovery. Attending to the client's surroundings, including the lighting and atmosphere, is being attentive to the client's environment. Deficiencies in environmental factors (especially air, water, drainage, cleanliness, and light) have produced lack of health or illness.
Rationale 4: Jean Watson defined nursing in relationship to caring and doesn't apply here.
