Acknowledging inner potential for well-being can bring a sense of hope that can be beneficial in managing illness and approaching the end of life.

Question 4

Reed's theory and scale allow us to catalog all instances of human self-transcendence.

Accepted Answer

Reed's theory and scale focus on understanding and measuring self-transcendence, but they do not claim to catalog all instances of human self-transcendence. Self-transcendence can manifest in various ways across different cultures and individual experiences, making it challenging to catalog comprehensively.

Accepted Answer

Reed's theory distinguishes itself from other theories by emphasizing the well-being of the whole person in the context of health experiences, which is a core concept in nursing. Although nursing processes, nurse theorists, and developmental considerations are important in nursing, they are not unique to Reed's theory.

Question 6

The core concept of Reed's theory is:&#10;A) Vulnerability.&#10;B) Well-being.&#10;C) Self-transcendence.&#10;D) Nursing processes.

Accepted Answer

Reed's theory focuses on self-transcendence, which is the process of looking beyond oneself and connecting with others and the world around us. The theory suggests that self-transcendence is a key component of well-being and can be helpful in coping with life's challenges. While vulnerability and nursing processes may be related to the theory, they are not the core concept.

Question 7

The original thinking for the theory of self-transcendence is derived from:&#10;A) A life span developmental view of aging and mental health&#10;B) Roger's theory of unitary human beings&#10;C) The Medical model&#10;D) Religious studies

Accepted Answer

The theory of self-transcendence was developed by Pamela Reed, a nursing scholar, based on a life span developmental view of aging and mental health. It proposes that in later life, individuals experience a shift in perspective that allows them to transcend their individual self and connect with experiences that are larger than themselves, such as nature, spirituality, and humanity. Reed's theory has been widely used in nursing care for older adults and individuals facing end-of-life issues.

In the Theory of self-transcendence, self-organization refers to a pattern in living systems of increasing complexity and organization over time. Nursing is not directly related to this concept, while organization and well-being are related but do not encompass the specific idea of self-organization in living systems.
