2. Madeleine Leininger's

Rationale 1: Orem describes health as a state of wholeness, which includes physical, psychological, and social needs. Neuman believes that the client has an internal and external environment, and the client maintains a balance and harmony between the two. Leininger's theory centers on cultural care diversity, and Roy's model is the adaptive model of nursing.
