Answer to Question 1

ANS: 3
Descriptive theories describe phenomena, speculate on why phenomena occur, and describe the consequences of phenomena.
Grand theories provide the structural framework for broad, abstract ideas about nursing.
Prescriptive theories address nursing interventions and predict the consequence of a specific nursing intervention.
Middle range theories address specific phenomena or concepts and reflect practice.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 4
Neuman's framework for practice included nursing actions as primary, secondary, or tertiary lev-els of prevention in caring for clients holistically. Secondary prevention strengthens internal de-fenses and resources by establishing priorities and treatment plans for identified symptoms.
In Henderson's theory, nurses help the client to perform 14 basic needs.
The goal of Orem's theory is to promote attainment of self-care.
Roy's theory focuses on adaptation.
