Answer to Question 1

A
Watson's theory is composed of ten carative factors which are classified as nursing actions or processes. Watson believed that health refers to unity and harmony within the mind, body, and soul. Health is also associated with the degree of congruence between the self as perceived and the self as experienced.

Answer to Question 2

B
Sensation is done by assessing pain and vibration in the limbs. Cerebellar function is done by observing the patient's gait, and ability to walk heel-to-toe and perform shallow knee bends. The motor system is assessed by assessing muscle tone and strength, abnormal movements, and hand grasps. The reflexes are assessed with the use of a reflex hammer, assessing the muscle stretch reflexes and the plantar response.
