Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Providing presence is a person-to-person encounter conveying closeness and a sense of caring. Being there seems to depend on the fact that a nurse is attentive to the patient more than the task. Being with means being available and at the patient's disposal. If the patient accepts the nurse, the nurse will be invited to see, share, and touch the patient's vulnerability and suffering. Jumping in may not be welcomed. Being there is something the nurse offers to the patient with the purpose of achieving some patient care goal.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Watson has 10 carative factors, one of which is instilling faith-hope. Maintaining belief is a caring process of Swanson's theory. Ethics and values are important in caring but they are not examples of Watson's carative factors.
