Answer to Question 1

B
When a nurse remains poised and cheerful and points out the good in a difficult situation, patients perceive these behaviors as caring. Having an encouraging manner also involves helping a patient deal with negative feelings. Having an encouraging manner also involves helping patients deal with bad feelings. Human respect refers to nurses being able to appreciate the value of human beings and displaying behaviors that demonstrate value, such as accepting or paying attention to a patient. By showing respect, a nurse honors the worth of individuals. Although the nurse in this case is not disrespectful, the primary concept being demonstrated is an encouraging manner. It is important to note that concepts are not necessarily exclusive. A healing environment, for example, is one in which nurses check patients frequently, respect patient privacy, reduce noise, and treat the body carefully. Affiliation needs refer to the inclusion of family members in a patient's care. It is a key element in discharge planning. Hospitalized patients perceive nurses as caring when they are responsive to patients' families and allow them to be involved in the patient's health care situation. In this scenario, the patient's family is not involved.

Answer to Question 2

A
A caring nurse helps hospitalized patients understand how to think about their health and illness and to figure out questions to ask of their health care providers. In addition, a caring nurse helps patients explore options for resolving health problems and provides information and instruction. Using evidence in practice is an aspect of mutual problem solving, with a nurse continuously learning and engaging patients and families in discussions about their health issues. Basic to nursing practice is the inclusion of family members in a patient's care.
