Answer to Question 1

A
Caring is highly relational. A nurse and a patient enter into a relationship that is much more than one person simply doing tasks for another. There is a mutual give-and-take that develops as nurse and patient begin to know and care for one another. As a nurse-patient relationship forms, a nurse becomes a coach and partner rather than a detached provider of care. Performing an IV insertion, assessing a health history, and inserting a catheter are all tasks that can be accomplished with or without a caring nurse-patient relationship being developed.

Answer to Question 2

D
Caring is very personal. One challenge is to find ways to communicate with patients so as to learn the culturally specific behaviors and words that reflect human caring. Care is an essential human need, necessary for the health and survival of all individuals. Care, unlike cure, assists an individual or group in improving a human condition. A caring act depends on the needs, problems, and values of a patient.
