QUESTION

While planning care, the nurse works with the client and chooses a wholly compensatory nursing system to help the client achieve an optimal level of self-care. What is true about this situation?

1. Most nursing theorists support a different form of planning.
2. Nursing theories do not lend themselves to the action of planning nursing care.
3. Orem’s general theory of nursing involves this type of planning.
4. This type of planning is only supported by the caring theorists.

ANSWER:

Correct Answer: 3

The wholly compensatory nursing system is a part of Orem’s general theory of nursing. Planning is used by many different theorists and many use the same general planning principles. It is not true that planning is only supported by the caring theorists.
