The nurse's research focuses on how a person defends himself or herself from daily stressors. Which theorist's work would likely be fundamental to this researcher's work?

Question

1. Roy
2. Neuman
3. Rogers
4. Orem

Answer 1

2
Rationale 1: In Roy's theory, humans are considered biopsychosocial beings in constant interaction with the changing environment. People are viewed as adaptive systems with cognator and regulator coping mechanisms that act to maintain adaptation in four response modes: physiological, self-concept, role function, and interdependence.
Rationale 2: Neuman has proposed a model that focuses on the total person. The person or client system (individual, group, community) is subject to environmental stressors that are intrapersonal, interpersonal, and extrapersonal in nature. The client is protected from stressors by a flexible line of defense that is dynamic.
Rationale 3: In Rogers' model, humans and their environment are viewed as two energy fields that are always open to each other. Each human field is unique, and change is always toward increasing complexity and diversity.
Rationale 4: Concepts in the Orem model are self-care, self-care agency, self-care demand, self-care deficit, nursing agency, and nursing system.
