This is an example of the implementation of what nursing theory? a. Martha Rogers' examination of the phe-nomena of energy fields
b. Dorothy Orem's interwoven theories of self-care, self-care deficit, and nursing care
c. Dorothy Johnson's theme that the person is a behavior system and is orderly and balanced
d. Sister Callista Roy's theme of coping and adaptation to stimuli and stressors
B
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. Martha Roger's Science of Unitary Human Beings is an abstract model addressing the complexity of the "unitary human being," which allows for the examination of phenomena (energy fields, paranormal); the energy being discussed regarding exercise is not what this is describing. Roy's theory is about adapting to stressors, and in this instance, the exercising and working with the cardiac rehab nurse would not constitute adapting to stimuli and stressors. Johnson's theory focuses on human behavior rather than the person's state of health; hence, the activity of exercise is health related.
