Answer to Question 1

ANS:
Doing for, being with
Rationale:
Doing for is often seen in instrumental behaviors of caring, where the priority is to tell, show, or do, whereas being with is an expressive caring behavior where the priority is to listen, notice, or respond.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 3, 4
Rationale:
The nurse is at higher risk for burn-out when he does not practice being with patients and families. The idea that being with the patient takes more time is a myth that can act as a barrier to developing a caring relationship. The nurse conveys being with through modulating his tone of voice, eye contact, and body language. Having an open mind and understanding a variety of perspectives are important aspects of the nurse's capacity for being with patients.
