Answer to Question 1

Ans: B
The Tidal Models is based on the beliefs that recovery is possible, change is inevitable, clients know what is best for them, clients possess all the resources they need to begin recovery, clients are the teachers and nurses are the pupils, and nurses need to be creatively curious to learn what needs to be done to help the client. The other statements do not reflect these beliefs.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: C
Leininger's Theory of Cultural Care Diversity and Universality states that caring is universal and varies transculturally. It is based on the nurse's need to be aware of and sensitive to the cultural needs of clients.
