Answer to Question 1

C
Providing presence is a person-to-person encounter conveying a closeness and a sense of caring. This type of presence is something the nurse offers to the client with the purpose of achieving some goal, such as support, comfort, or encouragement, to diminish the intensity of unwanted feelings or for reassurance. If the client accepts the nurse, he or she will invite the nurse to see, share, and touch their vulnerability and suffering.
The client will not seek out the nurse for emotional comfort if there is not a sense of presence between them.
The client will not seek out the nurse for companionship if there is not a sense of presence be-tween them.
The client will not express an interest in validating her progress with the nurse if there is not a sense of presence between them.

Answer to Question 2

D
Persons who do not experience care in their lives often find it difficult to accept or understand acts of caring or to act in a caring manner.
The nurse should first recognize that the client may be lacking in examples of caring in his own life and so finds it difficult to understand why someone else would be caring.
