Answer to Question 1

ANS: 4
Finding a way for the patient to see the dog, even if she can only look out a window, shows caring by understanding this patient's needs.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 2
Caring means responding to others as unique individuals, sensing their emotions, and accepting them as they are, unconditionally. This response accepts the patient's choice without condemning or frightening him.
