Answer to Question 1

Answer: 4
Explanation: The nurse may measure the effect of self-reflection by changes in the nurse's own thoughts and behaviors. Self-disclosure is a strategy to decrease the hidden area of self, but is not self-reflection. Self-reflection is the nurse's opportunity to examine his or her own actions and motivations and feelings. Evaluation of the nurse's self-reflection is not dependent on the patient's ability to use self-disclosure or changes in the patient's thoughts and behaviors.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: 4
Explanation: Florence Nightingale believed that the nurse achieves the moral ideal when using
the whole self  to establish a caring relationship with the patient. While the other answer choices were nurse theorists, these individuals did not emphasize the moral ideal as Nightingale did.
