Question 1

A) The world is made up of interconnected systems, and all systems can function independent of one another when the need arises.
B) The world is made up of interconnected systems, and one system produces the energy necessary for the next to function.
C) The world is made up of interconnected systems, and dysfunction in one system impacts other systems.
D) The world is made up of interconnected systems, and if one system fails the others will compensate for it.

Accepted Answer

General systems theory posits that systems are interconnected and interdependent, meaning dysfunction in one system can affect others, which is a common thread in Roy's, King's, and Neuman's nursing models.

Question 2

Question 3

Roland is thirteen and was beaten up by two bullies on the way home from school today. When the bullies approached him, he felt his heart begin to race and his face grow flush. His older brother told him this is called the "fight-or-flight" response and occurs when the body releases hormones when in a dangerous situation. If Roland's fight-or-flight reaction is considered in terms of Roy's coping processes, it would best be described as a:
A) cognator process.
B) regulator process.
C) stabilizer process.
D) innovator process.

Accepted Answer

The fight-or-flight response is a physiological reaction that involves the body's autonomic nervous system, which is part of the regulator process in Roy's adaptation model.

Question 4

Which mode described by Roy could be used to describe behaviors related to an individual's relationships with others?

C) Self-concept
D) Group

Accepted Answer

The Interdependence mode in Roy's Adaptation Model focuses on relationships and interactions with others, making it suitable for describing behaviors related to an individual's relationships.
