Answer to Question 1

Ans: B
Feedback:
The nursing goals for assessment for the theory of Health as Expanding Consciousness are to develop a therapeutic relationship with the family that helps them identify areas for change and to build a story with the family as a means to change a pattern. The nursing goals for assessment for the theory of Science of Unitary Beings are to identify family patterns, which enable nurses to gain understanding and appreciation for the family, and to partner with families to make changes and define outcomes. The nursing goals for assessment for the theory of Roy Adaptation Model are to identify basic health needs and the key roles and relationships within the family and to determine how different stimuli affect the family's ability to adapt to change. The nursing goals for assessment for the theory of Self-care Agency are to identify roles and relationships within the family and to determine the family's ability to respond to critical situations and support each other.
