Answer to Question 1

C

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
Nurse healers commit to learning about what makes each patient unique. While differing from non-nursing relationships, it would be inaccurate to state that nursepatient connections cannot be personal.. Experiences from the nurse's life may be shared when appropriate while the goal of being truly with patients and providing undivided attention is characteristic of the nurse healer's goal of presence.
