Question 23

In Roger’s Theory of Unitary Human Beings, a Person is defined as

Answer 23

an indivisible, pandimensional energy field identified by pattern

Question 24

Rogers define the environment as an

Answer 24

irreducible, pandimentional energy field identified by pattern and integral with the human field

Question 25

Rogers define Health as

Answer 25

an expression of the life process.

Question 26

The nursing theory states that nursing encompasses two dimensions:

Answer 26

nursing as art and nursing as science

Question 27

nusing is an organized body of knowledge specific to nursing, and arrived at by scientific research and logical analysis

Answer 27

science perspective

Question 28

is the creative use of science to better people and the creative use of its knowledge is the art of its practice

Answer 28

art of nursing

Question 28

the nursing process has 3 steps in Roger's Theory of Unitary Human Beings:

Answer 28

assessment, voluntary mutual patterning, and evaluation

Question 29

the areas of assessment are:

Answer 29

- the total pattern of events at any given point in space-time, - simultaneous states of the patient and his or her environment - rhythms of the life process - supplementary data - categorical disease identities - subsystem pathology - pattern appraisal

Question 30

mutual patterning of the human and environmental fields include;

Answer 30

- sharing knowledge - offering choices - empowering the patient - fostering patterning - evaluation - repeat pattern appraisal - identity resonance and harmony - validate appraisal with the patient - self-reflection for the patient

Question 31

other concepts that provide clarity to the basic precepts of the Rogerian model includes:

Answer 31

- the unitary human being, environment and homeodynamic principles

Question 32

the "potential for process, movement and change"

Answer 32

energy

the fundamental unit of both the living and the nonliving

Answer 34

energy field

Question 35

the energy field continuously varies in

Answer 35

intensity, density and extent

Question 36

The human field and the environmental field are constantly exchanging energy. There are no boundaries or barriers to inhibit energy flow between fields

Answer 36

openness

Question 37

is the dynamic r active process of the life of the human being that is sccessible to the senses

Answer 37

Question 50

Five assumptions that are also theoretical assertions

Answer 50

1. Man is a unified whole possessing his own integrity and manifesting characteristics more than and different from the sum of his parts 2. Man and environment are continuously exchanging matter and energy with one another 3. The life process evolves irreversibly and you need directionally all of the space-time continuum 4. Pattern and organization identify man and reflect his innovative wholeness. 5. Man is characterized by the capacity for abstraction and imagery language, and thought sensation and emotion.
