A nurse has implemented the use of noncontact therapeutic touch. Which theorist is the nurse using as a basis for this intervention?
1. Florence Nightingale
2. Martha Rogers
3. Virginia Henderson
4. Rosemarie Parse
Correct Answer: 2
Rationale : Rogers states that humans are dynamic energy fields. Nurses applying Rogers's theory seek to promote interaction between the two energy fields. The use of noncontact therapeutic touch is based on the concept of human energy fields. Nightingale's theory centered on the client's environment. Henderson conceptualized the nurse's role as assisting individuals to gain independence in meeting 14 fundamental needs. Rosemarie Parse's theory revolves around human becoming.
