F

Answer to Question 2

C
According to caring theories, the most immediate intervention for the nurse is to listen to the affective experience of the client. The nurse will be interested in the client's subjective experience of the crisis. Therefore these caring theories would direct the nurse to meet the client at the client's level with an attitude of sincere caring, accept the client's view as an important perspective of the event, seek to understand the client's subjective experience of the crisis, and interpret the meaning of the crisis to the client.
