Answer to Question 1

Answer: 4
Explanation: Nightingale was among the first to note that the influence of nurses on their patients goes beyond physical care and has psychological and social components; hence, the value of making her famous evening rounds to say goodnight. In addition to being the first to note the influence of nurses on psychological components, Nightingale emphasize the physical, not cultural, environment for healing. Nightingale focused her ideas on both direct patient care and nursing education. Hildegard Peplau is credited with theory related to the therapeutic nurse-patient relationship.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: 1
Explanation: Peplau conceptualized the one-to-one nurse-patient relationship as one in which the patient can accomplish developmental tasks and practice healthy behaviors. This relationship is best known as the therapeutic nurse-patient relationship. While the additional answer choices are appropriate interventions for the psychiatric-mental health nurse, they do not best represent Hildegard Peplau's nursing theory.
