Feedback:
Florence Nightingale's concepts include that nature alone cures. Nursing assists the person to an improved condition for nature to take its course. Virginia Henderson believes that mind and body are one. Nursing's role is to assist clients to perform functions they would perform unaided if they had the necessary strength, will, or knowledge. Dorethea Orem's theory builds on Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs, nursing assists clients to meet self-care needs necessary to maintain life, health, and well-being.
Sister Callista Roy believes an individual's state of health/illness moves back and forth on a continuum.

A nurse evaluates a client's patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) pump and notices 100 attempts within a 30-minute period. Which is the best rationale for assessing this client for substance addiction?
1. Narcotic pain medication is contraindicated for all clients with active substance use disorders. 2. Clients who are addicted to alcohol or benzodiazepines may develop cross-tolerance to analgesics and require increased doses to achieve effective pain control. 3. There is no need to assess the client for substance addiction. There is an obvious PCA malfunction, because these clients have a higher pain tolerance. 4. The client is experiencing alcohol withdrawal symptoms and needs accurate assessment.
