Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 1, 2, 3, 5
Rationale: One of the recognized central concepts of nursing is that the recipients of nursing care include individuals, families, groups, and communities.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 2, 3, 5
Rationale 1: This is more relevant to Leininger's Cultural Care Diversity and Universality Theory.
Rationale 2: Watson proposes that a caring environment offers the development of potential while allowing the person to choose the best action for the self at a given point in time.
Rationale 3: Watson proposes that human caring in nursing is not just an emotion, concern, attitude, or benevolent desire. Caring connotes a personal response such as empathy.
Rationale 4: This is more relevant to Roy's Adaptation Model.
Rationale 5: Watson proposes that caring occasions involve action and choice by nurse and client. If the caring occasion is transpersonal, the limits of openness expand, as do human capacities.
