The unit manager is consistently advocating for self-awareness among the psychiatric–mental health nursing staff in order to promote quality care. From which theoretical base is the unit manager operating?
1. Jean Watson's theory of human caring
2. Dorothea Orem's theory of self-care
3. Martha Rogers's principles of homeodynamics
4. Sister Callista Roy's adaptation theory

Rationale: Jean Watson's theory of human caring emphasizes sensitivity to self and values clarification regarding personal and cultural beliefs that might pose as barriers to transpersonal caring. Roy's adaptation theory (coping and adapting to environmental stimuli), Rogers's principles of homeodynamics (human and environmental interaction), and Orem's theory of self-care (matching nursing systems of care with clients' levels of self-care functioning) have different emphases.
