A Telling the student how to bathe patients correctly is less apt to change the behaviour.
B Providing the student nurse with resources does not ensure that the student will read them and change the behaviour.
C Asking another student nurse to provide bathing does not address caring behaviours with the first student nurse.
D Assisting the student nurse in bathing the patient gives the nurse teacher the opportunity to model caring behaviour. In order for the value of caring to be internalized by the student nurse, there is a critical need for demonstration of caring behaviours and clinical opportunities to practise these behaviours. Caring models are essential to help in the development of a student nurse's capacity to care.
