Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Lohri-Posey evaluated how nursing students learned to be caring, The surprising finding was that the negative role models inspired the students to not be like those people and motivated the students just as much as the positive role models. In her study, Lohri-Posey concluded that caring and compassion depended on personal qualities within the individual student, or on experiences that shaped the student's values, rather than on something that was taught in class.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Codependency is a dysfunctional relationship in which the person who wants to help acts in a manner that enables harmful behavior by another person. The staff nurse who is providing additional calories and sugar to an extremely overweight patient may be exhibiting codependency behaviors. Many authors, theorists, and professional groups have identified qualities and behaviors that demonstrate caring in nursing practice. Several of the most important concepts include the simple fact of the nurse's presence, consistency and predictability, the use of touch, and the importance of listening in the nurse-patient relationship. Giving medication to patients as ordered demonstrates the nurse providing consistency and predictability. Teaching how to adjust an oxygen mask and encouraging self-independence demonstrate presence.
