Answer to Question 1

C
It is important that essential tasks, such as giving medications, be done according to schedule, but if a patient is in distress, needs to talk, or needs answers, there should be some flexibility for nonessential tasks. The nurse needs to treat the whole person, not just give out drugs and see to it that certain grooming tasks are performed routinely.

Answer to Question 2

C
The Science of Human Caring is a nursing philosophy developed by Dr. Jean Watson of the University of Colorado. This philosophy is taught worldwide and serves as the basis for teaching and caregiving. Florence Nightingale, known as the Mother of Modern Nursing, practiced holistic nursing long before the term was even used. Clara Barton served as an exemplary nurse during the Civil War, and Savage and Money have written on the concepts of holistic nursing.
