Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Hildegard Peplau offers the best-known nursing model for the study of interpersonal relationships in health care. Her model describes how the nurse-client relationship can facilitate the identification and accomplishment of therapeutic goals to enhance client and family well-being. In contemporary practice, Peplau's framework is more applicable today in longer term relationships, and in settings such as rehabilitation centers, long-term care, and nursing homes. Despite the brevity of the alliances in acute care settings, basic principles of being a participant observer in the relationship, building rapport, developing a working partnership, and terminating a relationship remain relevant.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Empirical knowledge is the scientific rationale for skilled nursing interventions. Personal ways of knowing allow the nurse to understand and treat each individual as a unique person. Aesthetic ways of knowing allow the nurse to connect in different and more meaningful ways. Ethical ways of knowing refer to the moral aspects of nursing.
