Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Maslow's hierarchy of needs specifies the psychological and physiologic factors that affect each person's physical and mental health. The nurse's understanding of these factors helps with formulating nursing diagnoses that address the patient's needs and values to prioritize care. Erikson's Psychosocial Theory of Development and Socialization is based on individuals' interacting and learning about their world. Nurses use concepts of developmental theory to critically think in providing care for their patients at various stages of their lives. Rosenstock (1974) developed the psychological Health Belief Model. The model addresses possible reasons for why a patient may not comply with recommended health promotion behaviors. This model is especially useful to nurses as they educate patients.
