Answer to Question 1

C
Nursing caring theories have common themes. Caring is highly relational. Caregiving relationships open up possibilities or close them down. Watson's transpersonal caring theory rejects the disease orientation to health care and places care before cure. Leininger stresses the importance of nurses' understanding of cultural caring behaviors. Caring is very personal, thus expression of caring differs for each patient.

Answer to Question 2

B
The nurse should not assume when a patient is going to be discharged and document this information in a plan of care. Making assumptions is not an example of a critical thinking skill. The patient's reactions to testing, having several nursing diagnoses, and a description of the patient's coping abilities are all appropriate to document in the nursing plan of care.
