In Orlando's nursing theory, the patient's verbal and nonverbal behaviour is viewed primarily as what?
Correct answer: B. An expression that may indicate an immediate need for help
- A. A diagnosis that can be made without further assessment
- B. An expression that may indicate an immediate need for help
- C. A fixed personality trait that guides all nursing care
- D. A medical symptom requiring treatment by the physician
Explanation
Orlando viewed patient behaviour as potentially signalling an immediate need for help, but the nurse must interpret it carefully and respond deliberately. Behaviour should not be treated as a fixed trait or automatically as a medical diagnosis.
