Question 1

Rogers described three principles of homeodynamics to describe the nature of change in the human-environmental field process:&#10;A)Mind,body,and spirit.&#10;B)Intradimensions,interdimensions,and extradimensions of reality.&#10;C)Resonancy,helicy,and integrality.&#10;D)Unitary,revolutionary,and congruency.

Accepted Answer

Rogers described three principles of homeodynamics as resonancy, helicy, and integrality. They describe the nature of change in the human-environmental field process.

Question 2

A rich description of each participant's experiences,perception,and expressions created through a process of creative pattern synthesis is which essential aspect of Butcher's (2005)Unitary Field Pattern Portrait?

A)Initial engagement.
B)Unitary field pattern portrait.
C)Unitary field pattern profile.
D)Initial Engagement.

Unitary field pattern profile.

Accepted Answer

Unitary field pattern profile.

Question 3

When addressing nursing practice,Rogers proposed that:&#10;A)Nurses play a central role in health care rather than medical care.&#10;B)Nurses utilize the nursing process to organize their practice.&#10;C)Nursing diagnoses is the cornerstone of informed nursing practice.&#10;D)The utilization of the classification systems NIC/NOC/NANDA would finally give the profession of nursing legitimacy within the medical world.

Accepted Answer

Rogers emphasized the importance of nurses focusing on health care, which involves a holistic approach to patient care, rather than just medical care, which is more disease-oriented.

Question 4

Rogers described pattern as:&#10;A)A reducible connected string of events.&#10;B)Changing continuously while giving identity to each unique human-environmental field process.&#10;C)A way to frame an individual's historical context.&#10;D)A back-and-forth flow.

Accepted Answer

Rogers defines pattern as an ongoing, continuously changing process that shapes the unique identity of each human-environmental interaction. Choice A describes a sequence of events but does not necessarily capture the ongoing, dynamic nature of pattern. Choice C is somewhat relevant but does not capture the full definition of pattern. Choice D is not an accurate description of Rogers' definition of pattern.

Question 5

There have been a number of theories derived from Rogers' Science of Unitary Human Beings.Select all that apply:&#10;A)Theory of accelerating change.&#10;B)Theory of self-efficacy.&#10;C)Theory of paranormal phenomena.&#10;D)Manifestations of field patterning.&#10;E)Theory of uncertainty in illness.

Accepted Answer

- The Theory of Accelerating Change, Theory of Paranormal Phenomena, and Manifestations of Field Patterning are all derived from Rogers' Science of Unitary Human Beings. These theories focus on aspects of human existence and experience that are integral to Rogers' view of humans as irreducible, dynamic energy fields in constant interaction with the environment.- The Theory of Self-Efficacy is associated with Albert Bandura's work on social cognitive theory, not Rogers.- The Theory of Uncertainty in Illness is associated with Merle Mishel's work on the psychological states of patients dealing with illness, not Rogers.

Question 6

From a Unitary Science perspective,nursing diagnoses are considered particularistic and reductionistic labels describing cause and effect (i.e. ,&#34;related to&#34;)relationships inconsistent with a &#34;nonlinear domain without spatial or temporal attributes.&#34;

Accepted Answer

A Unitary Science perspective views nursing diagnoses as reductionistic labels that attempt to describe cause and effect relationships in a nonlinear domain without spatial or temporal attributes. Therefore, the statement is true.

Question 7

Rogers identified four fundamental postulates that form the basis of reality and described this postulate as &#34;the fundamental unit of the living and the non-living&#34;:&#10;A)Openness.&#10;B)Pattern.&#10;C)Pandimensionality.&#10;D)Energy fields.

Accepted Answer

Rogers' Science of Unitary Human Beings views the universe as being made up of dynamic energy fields. She identified "energy fields" as the fundamental unit of both the living and non-living, indicating that everything in the universe is connected through these energy fields. This concept is central to her theory, emphasizing the idea that humans and their environments are integral, interacting through these universal energy fields.

Question 8

Rogers hypothesized that hyperactive children provide a good example of speeded-up rhythms relative to other children.They would be expected to show all of the following EXCEPT:&#10;A)Indications of faster rhythms.&#10;B)Increased motion.&#10;C)Behaviors indicative of this shift.&#10;D)A tendency toward isolative and focused activity.

Accepted Answer

The other choices are consistent with Rogers' hypothesis about hyperactive children, but a tendency toward isolative and focused activity would be inconsistent with this hypothesis. Hyperactive children are typically described as overactive and having difficulty with impulsivity and attention, which would lead to difficulty with isolative and focused activity.

Question 9

Rogers' unique worldview focuses on the root of nursing science as:&#10;A)Unidimensional.&#10;B)Multidimensional.&#10;C)Pandimensional.&#10;D)Ultradimensional.

Accepted Answer

Rogers' unique worldview focuses on the root of nursing science as "pandimensional", meaning that it involves all aspects of human experience, including physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual dimensions. This is different from a "unidimensional" perspective that only focuses on one aspect, or a "multidimensional" perspective that considers multiple aspects but still separates them into distinct categories. Rogers believed that nursing should address the whole person and their environment, and therefore required a pandimensional perspective.

Question 10

Which energy field did Rogers identify as a concern to nurses?&#10;A)Caring field.&#10;B)Resonating field.&#10;C)Environmental field.&#10;D)Transformative field.

Accepted Answer

Rogers identified the environmental field as a concern to nurses. She believed that the environment, both physical and emotional, has a significant impact on a person's health and well-being.

Question 11

Choose the research method(s)that are specific to Rogers' Science of Unitary Human Beings:&#10;A)Rogerian Process Inquiry.&#10;B)Voluntary Mutual Patterning Practice Method.&#10;C)Pandimensional Change Patterning Method.&#10;D)Accelerating Change Inquiry.

Question 12

Within an energy field perspective,nurses in mutual process assist clients in:&#10;A)Negotiating their plan of care.&#10;B)Actualizing their field potentials by enhancing their ability to participate knowingly in change.&#10;C)Being supported until the client can perform self-care.&#10;D)Client-centered cooperative decision-making.

Question 14

Rogers,in her Theory of Accelerating Evolution,proposed that higher-frequency field patterns that manifest growing diversity open the door to wider ranges of experiences and behaviors,calling into question the very idea of &#34;norms&#34; as guidelines.
