Question 4

All human beings are viewed as an _______________.

Answer 4

integral part of universe

Question 5

Human beings and the environment have __________.

Answer 5

energy field

Question 6

It is directed towards patterning and maintaining these energy fields.

Answer 6

Nursing action

Question 7

It is the inevitable part of life; energy can freely flow between humans and the environment.

Answer 7

Energy field

Question 8

There is no boundary or barrier that can inhibit the flow of energy between human and environment, which leads to the continuous
movement or matter of energy.

Answer 8

Openness

Question 9

It is the distinguishing character of the energy field.

Answer 9

Pattern

Question 10

Undeviating field, which is not constricted by space or time, is an infinite domain without boundary.

Answer 10

Pandimensional

Question 11

It refers to the balance between the
dynamic life process and environment.

Answer 11

Homeodynamics

Question 12

These principles help to view humans as unitary human beings.

Answer 12

Principles of Homeodynamics

Question 13

Energy fields are __________ and constantly interact with humans and environment, which affects
our environment and vice versa.

Answer 13

dynamic

Question 14

This is the principle on which meditation and humor work to produce a positive environment.

Answer 14

Principles of Integrality

Question 15

It is an ordered arrangement of rhythm characterizing both the human field and the environmental field.

Answer 15

Principles of Resonancy

Question 16

Any minute change in the environment leads to a ripple effect. This change is constant and unpredictable and there are many factors which mutually interact and cause the change.

Answer 16

Principles of Heliecy

Question 17

Rogers’ 4 Metaparadigm in Nursing:

Answer 17

1. Person

3. Health
4. Nursing

Question 18

A unitary human being is an open systems which continuously interact with the environment. It cannot be viewed as parts, but as a whole.

Answer 18

Person

Question 19

It includes the entire energy field other than a person.

Answer 19

Environment

Question 20

It is determined by the interaction between energy fields, i.e. human and the environment.

Answer 20

Health

Question 21

In health, bad interaction or misplacing of the energy leads to ________.

Answer 21

illness

Question 22

It is both a science and an art. It constantly maintains the energy field which is conducive for the patient.

Answer 22

Nursing

Question 23

It directs the interaction of person and environment to maximize health potential.

Answer 23

Nursing action

Question 24

Applications of SUBH:

Answer 24

1. Practice
2. Education
3. Research

Question 25

It is always focused on unitary human being and changes the energy field between humans and
environment.

Answer 25

Nursing action

Question 26

These include all the noninvasive actions such as guided imaginary, humor, therapeutic touch, music etc. which are used to increase the
potential of human being.

Answer 26

Nursing interventions

Question 27

The nursing education of Rogers:

Answer 27

1. Emphasis should be given on the understanding of the patient and self, energy field, and environment.
2. Training should lay more focus on teaching non-invasive modalities.

Question 28

It has been used in many research works and has always been found
testable and applicable in research.

Answer 28

Rogerian theory

Question 29

Nursing process according to SUBH:

Answer 29

1. Pattern appraisal
2. Mutual patterning
3. Evaluation

Question 30

It is an inclusive assessment of human and environmental energy fields, its organization of energy field, and identification of areas
of dissonance.

Answer 30

Pattern appraisal

Question 31

Nurses ______ the entire appraisal along with the client.

Answer 31

validate

Question 32

It is the proper patterning of the energy fields between the human and environment.

Answer 32

Mutual patterning

Question 33

It is the mutual interaction between the client and the nurse.

Answer 33

Mutual patterning

Question 34

Patterning can be done by:
