A nurse asks a patient what a sudden change in behavior means, checks the patient's feelings and confirms the interpretation before acting. Which theory is most directly reflected?

Correct answer: A. Orlando's nursing process theory

  • A. Orlando's nursing process theory
  • B. Levine's conservation model
  • C. Johnson's behavioral system model
  • D. Rogers' unitary human beings theory

Explanation

Orlando's theory requires the nurse to explore the patient's behavior, identify the nurse's immediate reaction and validate its meaning with the patient. This prevents action based only on the nurse's assumptions.
