The novice nurse is learning how different nursing theorists developed philosophies on the concept of self. Which theorist will the nurse be emulating when the nurse reflects on the revolving self and evaluating
the suffering of a patient with mental illness?
1. Hildegard Peplau
2. Martha Rogers
3. Ida Jean Orlando
4. Patricia Benner
Answer: 2
Explanation: Martha Rogers stated that the student of psychiatric nursing will reflect on an endlessly evolving self. This evolution will occur while the nurse is participating in a therapeutic interpersonal relationship with the patient who lives with a psychiatric illness. The student will evaluate the patient's suffering, as it is both witnessed and reflected upon. Hildegard Peplau introduced the idea of the concept of self as a "tool" as important to the nurse as a stethoscope. Ida Jean Orlando stated that the nurse uses self as a reaction of perceptions, thoughts, and feelings in response to the patient's behavior. Patricia Benner also discussed nurse's using self as a tool to care for patients with mental illness.
