Answer to Question 1

B
To provide presence is to have a person-to-person encounter that conveys closeness and a sense of caring. Establishing presence is especially important with clients who are under stress. Giving reassurance and thorough explanations about a procedure, remaining at the client's side, and coaching the client through the experience all convey a presence that is invaluable to the client's well-being.
The nurse performing activities of daily living for the client is not necessarily being attentive to the client.
Demonstrating confidence does not necessarily mean the nurse is being attentive and caring.
Remaining calm does not necessarily mean the nurse is being attentive and understanding.

Answer to Question 2

D
According to Benner, caring means that persons, events, projects, and things matter to people.
According to Leininger, caring is the central, unifying, and dominant domain distinguishing nursing from other health disciplines and is necessary for the health and survival of all individu-als.
Watson defines caring as almost spiritual. Caring preserves human dignity in the technological, cure-dominated health care system.
Swanson defines caring as consisting of five categories or processes. Knowing, being with, doing for, enabling, and maintaining belief are Swanson's concepts of caring.

Daylight saving time is used in some islands, but not in others—further shifting the hours out of sync with natural time.
