Final answer:

Based on the information provided, it's unclear if the descriptions refer to nursing theorists. The references given include discussions about sociologists and economic philosophers, suggesting a possible mix-up. Clarification is needed to accurately match the descriptions to the theorists intended.

Step-by-step explanation:

The task is to match descriptions to the appropriate grand theorist. However, based on the information provided, it seems there might have been a misunderstanding. The references available discuss sociologists, economic philosophers, and developmental theorists, not nursing theorists as might be inferred from the names King, Henderson, Orem, and Neuman which are associated with nursing theories.

In the context of nursing theories:

  • Imogene King is known for her Theory of Goal Attainment.
  • Virginia Henderson is recognized for defining the unique role of nurses in Helping individuals to gain independence in relation to the performance of activities.
  • Dorothea Orem is famous for the Self-Care Deficit Theory.
  • Betty Neuman developed the Neuman Systems Model.

If reliability regarding the intended personalities behind these names cannot be confirmed, it would be inappropriate to give a definitive answer. It may be that the question was meant to be about theorists in a different field; clarification from the question asker would be necessary to provide an accurate response.
