Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Enabling is facilitating another's passage through a life transition and unfamiliar events. Working with the patient to find alternate ways to perform the task is doing just that. Knowing is striving to understand an event because it has meaning in the life of another. This must be done before enabling can occur. Doing for is doing for the other as he or she would do for self if it were at all possible. The nurse in this situation is not doing for the patient but is teaching/informing on how to care for the colostomy. Maintaining belief is sustaining faith in the other's capacity to get through an event or transition and face a future with meaning. This may be an underlying theme to the process but is not what the nurse is actually doing.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
The American Organization of Nurse Executives describes caring and knowledge as the core of nursing, with caring being a key component of what a nurse brings to a patient experience. While technology, informatics, and therapeutics are important, they are not the key components of nursing.
