Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 2
Rationale: Empirical knowing ranges from factual, observable phenomena to theoretical analysis. Empirical knowledge is systematic and helps to describe, explain, and predict phenomena. Aesthetic knowledge is the art of nursing and is expressed by nurses in their creativity and style in meeting the needs of clients. Personal knowledge is concerned with the knowing, encountering, and actualizing of the concrete, individual self. Creativity is part of aesthetic knowledge.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 4
Rationale: Conscience deals with morals, ethics, and an informed sense of right and wrong as well as an awareness of personal responsibility. This nurse understands the situation of taking on a critically ill client when he is already busy enough and makes an appropriate request for a change in assignment. Compassion is about being aware of one's relationship to others; sharing joys, sorrows, pain, and accomplishments; and participating in the experience of another. Confidence is the quality that fosters trust. It means the nurse has comfort with himself, his clients, and his family. Commitment is a convergence between one's desires and obligations and the deliberate choice to act in accordance with them.
