Answer to Question 1

A
A trusting relationship between nurse and client can occur only when the client perceives a nurse as being dependable and responsible in a caregiving situation. When the nurse admits to not knowing information but offers to find out, this allows the client to trust the nurse.

Answer to Question 2

D
The Nightingale Training School for Nurses at St. Thomas's Hospital in London recognized that there is a body of nursing knowledge distinct from medical knowledge. Among Nightingale's major contributions to nursing as it is practiced today are using a systematic method of client assessment, individualizing care on the basis of client needs and preferences, advocating confidentiality in client care, seeing nurses as client advocates, using a holistic framework for nursing and nursing education, identifying the necessity of a liberal education as the foundation of nursing practice, and pointing out the importance of the environment to the healing process by provided both theory-based knowledge and clinical skill building.
