QUESTION

A hospital’s nursing assessment form reflects first-level and second-level assessment. From this information, the nurse seeking employment at this facility determines that nursing service follows which theorist?

1. Orem
2. Roy
3. Benner
4. Leininger

ANSWER:

Correct Answer: 2

Roy’s Adaptation Model states that assessment involves two levels. First-level assessment includes collecting data about output behaviors related to the four adaptive modes. Second-level assessment includes collecting data about internal and external stimuli that are influencing the identified behaviors. The other theories and models listed do not direct that assessment involves two levels.
