Answer to Question 1

C
In Orem's self-care deficit theory, nurses assist patients with self-care activities while helping them move toward self-care agency, which is the ability to meet one's own self-care needs.
Addressing questions and concerns to the eldest male relative present might be a topic addressed in Leininger's cultural care theory.
Nightingale was most concerned with manipulating certain environmental features, including nutritious food, to promote health via the restorative processes.
For Rosemarie Parse, illness is a lived experience, and nursing action is directed toward mobilizing family interrelationships.

Answer to Question 2

C
For Rogers, homeodynamics are principles speculating about the nature and direction of unitary human development.
Carative factors are part of Jean Watson's theory of caring.
The cognator subsystem is a component of Roy's adaptation model.
