Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 2
Rationale: Ray's theory of bureaucratic caring suggests that caring in nursing is contextual and is influenced by the organizational structure. Each unit had its own specific meaning of caring and how it was influenced. Leininger's theory is focused on cultural congruency. Roach focuses on the philosophical concept of caring and proposes that caring is the human mode of being. Boykin and Schoenhofer's theory suggests that caring is a lifelong process, lived moment to moment by the nurse and constantly unfolding.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 2,3,4
Rationale: Along with these three specifics, Leininger defines care as assisting, supporting, or enabling one another or a group with evident or anticipated needs to improve life. Care influenced by organizational structure is in line with Ray's theory of bureaucratic caring.
