If psychiatric nurses used Orem's theory for structuring much of their nursing practice, a major focus area for assessment would be the client's ability to do which of the following?
1. Adapt and function to meet various role expectations.
2. Care about self and participate in self-healing.
3. Implement self-care to meet psychosocial needs.
4. Enter into a therapeutic one-to-one relationship with the nurse.

Rationale: Orem's theory of self-care identifies universal self-care requisites and categories that encompass both physical and psychosocial human needs. Orem focuses on abilities to perform self-care to maintain life, health, and well-being. Peplau conceptualizes the one-to-one nurse–client relationship. Roy's adaptation theory identifies modes of human adapting, including the area of role function. Watson's theory of human caring emphasizes self-caring and self-healing.
