Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Nursing theory can direct how a nurse uses the nursing process. Integration of theory into practice serves as the basis for professional nursing. The nursing process provides a systematic process for the delivery of care, not the knowledge component of the discipline. Useful theories are adaptable to different patients and to all care settings.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Orem's theory explains the factors within a patient's living situation that support or interfere with the patient's self-care ability. This theory has value in helping nursing design interventions with the patient that will help to promote the patient's self-care in managing an illness, such as diabetes or arthritis.
