  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

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.
