Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Swanson's Theory of Caring is composed of five interrelated caring processes: having faith in the ability of others to have meaningful lives; striving to understand the meaning of events in other's lives; being emotionally present to the other person; doing for others what they would do if possible, and facilitating or enabling the capacity of others to help themselves and their families. The patient's goal to walk without breathing problems is an example of the enabling process. Leininger's Cultural Care Theory centers on cultural practices that influence patient care. Travelbee's model describes steps toward compassionate and empathetic nursing care. Watson's theory describes holistic care and focuses on carative factors such as instilling faith and hope, promoting and accepting positive and negative feelings, and developing a helping-trust relationship.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Personal beliefs are one of the most important factors in determining how a person responds to a health problem and its treatment. The patient has a concern about the possibility of dying during the surgery based on prior experiences. The nurse should further explore the concern and determine the patient's true meaning of the statement. Belief in the surgeon's reputation, the success of the surgery, and the patient's ability to visit after the surgery indicates a positive belief.

Dogs have been used in studies to detect various cancers in human subjects. They have been trained to sniff breath samples from humans that were collected by having them breathe into special tubes.
