Nursing QUESTION #9204
Question 1
According to Martha Rogers' Science of Unitary Human Beings, which principle describes the continuous, mutual, simultaneous interaction between humans and their environment?
  • Resonancy
  • Helicy
  • Integrality✔️
  • Complementarity
Correct Answer Explanation
Correct Answer: C — Integrality

Rogers' Three Principles of Homeodynamics:
PrincipleDescription
IntegralityContinuous, mutual, simultaneous interaction between the human energy field and environmental energy field
ResonancyContinuous change from lower to higher frequency wave patterns in human and environmental fields
HelicyContinuous, innovative, unpredictable, increasing diversity of human and environmental field patterns
Note: 'Complementarity' was Rogers' original term, later replaced by 'Integrality'

Rogers viewed humans as irreducible, indivisible energy fields in constant interaction with the environment — a revolutionary concept in nursing theory that underpins holistic care.
