The pediatric nurse implements Watson's assumption regarding a caring environment. Which action did the nurse take to implement this assumption?
 
  1. Providing for all needs and cares of the nurse's clients
  2. Ensuring that a zone of professionalism is present between the nurse and client
  3. Allowing the clients to have choices, as appropriate, in their care
  4. Selecting games and activities that are age appropriate for the clients

Question 2

When a client who had a stroke gives up all hope of any amount of recovery, the nurse solicits a visit from a former stroke client who has physical limitations but has since gone back to work and, through adaptation, can function independently at home.
 
  This nurse has fulfilled which role, according to Parse?
  1. Mobilizing transcendence
  2. Synchronizing rhythm
  3. Illuminating meaning
  4. True presence

Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 3
Rationale 1: The nurse may not need to provide for all of the needs and cares of clients.
Rationale 2: Being conscientious of a zone of professionalism (i.e., keeping distant) would not be a characteristic of caring according to Watson.
Rationale 3: A caring environment, according to Watson's assumptions of caring, offers the development of potential while allowing the person to choose the best action for the self at a given point in time.
Rationale 4: Taking choices away from clients by making selections for them is not a good example of true caring, as defined by Watson.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 3
Rationale 1: Mobilizing transcendence is dreaming of possibilities and planning to reach them.
Rationale 2: Synchronizing rhythm involves leading through discussion to recognize harmony.
Rationale 3: According to Parse's theory, illuminating meaning refers to uncovering what was and what will be. In this situation, the stroke is what was, and the client who is now independent is what could be for the nurse's current client.
Rationale 4: Nurses must provide a true presence to their clients, but this is not a role in Parse's theory; it is a behavior.
