Cognator
Thinker
_______ involves physiologic processes such as chemical, neurologic, and endocrine that help cope with changing environment (ie. Adrenaline when scared)
Regulator
Three levels of adaptation?
integrated, compensatory, compromised
Level of adaptation wherein structures and functions meet human needs.
Integrated
Level of adaptation where cognator (thinker) and regulator (physio) have been activated due to a challenge. An attempt to integrate life processes; taking action.
Compensatory (compensation)
Responses can be adaptive or ineffective. They are considered appropriate or ____ ____.
inappropriate affect.
When cognator (thinker/feeler) uses conscious awareness and choice to create human and environmental integration.
Adaptation. Uses all processes to adapt to change or challenge.
Roy’s theory is a ____ range theory?
Middle
internal and external; Physical and social; human affected by, and in turn, affect the world around and within. Considered Stimuli
environment
focal, contextual and residual.
stimuli
Stimuli when an object or event is most present in consciousness.
focal
Adds to the focal stimuli; environmental factors that change how one adapts. Can be identified as affecting the situation.
Examples: humidity added to a hot day makes heat less tolerable.
It can be validated by observing machines or even a person’s reaction (such as fear response).
contextual
Stimuli with effects that are unclear. The person may not be aware of the effect of residual. Not Validated. Cannot be observed. Possible unconscious.
Examples: A person is terrified of thunder…they forgot about the time they were lost in the woods during a thunderstorm.
Residual
Health care profession that focuses on the life processes and patterns of people with a commitment to promote health and full life-potential for individuals, families and groups.
Nursing
WHen compared to a grand theory, this one is narrower and derived from earlier works and grand theories.
middle range theory
Who’s theory promotes environmental conditions to act on the person?
Nightingale
Who’s theory is based on self-care (help people meet their own and dependent others’ self-care needs)
Orem
This theorist developed a model which helps people maintain or regain their well-being by using cultural presevation.

- “Person”
Description of individual or group receiving care - environment
- Definition of health
- goal of nursing
- Delineation (portraying precisely) of approaches to reach the goal of nursing (what model you use).
Stimuli and adaptation level serve as input to human adaptive systems. Processing input through control processes results in an output called _________ responses.
Behavioral
Actions or reactions under circumstances (changes, challenges, etc), which may be internal or external
behavior (output)
Behaviors/outputs that are adaptive, ineffective and maladaptive are ______ mechanisms.
coping mechanisms
T or F: The concern in behavior is whether the behavior is adaptive or ineffective.
True
