Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 1
Rationale 1: Critical theory research used in nursing helps explain how structures such as race, gender, sexual orientation, and economic class affect patient experiences and health outcomes. In this scenario (the influences of culture on the dying process), research on critical theory would help educate how these structures affect the human experience of death.
Rationale 2: Midlevel theories focus on exploring concepts such as pain, self-esteem, and learning.
Rationale 3: Grand theories are only occasionally used in nursing research. The stability model describes the dominant view of nursing theories.
Rationale 4: The stability model describes the dominant view of nursing theories.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: Dominant; Stress/adaptation framework; Callista Roy's theory; Systems framework
Rationale : The dominant view of nursing theories is considered the stability model (Hood & Leddy, 2003). These theories use systems or stress/adaptation as frameworks. The theories of Callista Roy, Betty Neuman, and Imogene King would fit in the stability model. The emerging view is considered the growth model with theories using caring or complexity as frameworks. This model includes the theories of Dorothea Orem, Jean Watson, Hildegard Peplau, Martha Rogers, and Rosemarie Parse.
