A nurse is working in an Asian neighborhood of a large metropolitan city
In attempting to meet the cultural needs of this segment of the population, the nurse could apply whose nursing theory to the organization of nursing care required by these residents? a. Virginia Henderson c. Dorothea Orem
b. Martha Rogers d. Madeline Leininger
D
Madeline Leininger's theory focuses on the overall impact of culture on a person's health and caring practices. Dorothy Orem's theory involves the three interwoven theories of self-care, self-care deficit, and the nursing system to help the nurse plan strategies to meet the patient's needs. Virginia Henderson's model focuses on the unique functions of nurses and 14 basic needs. Martha Roger's Science of Unitary Human Beings is an abstract model addressing the complex-ity of the "unitary human being," which allows for the examination of phenomena (energy fields, paranormal) that other theories do not describe, as nurses promote synchronicity between human beings and their environment/universe.
