Answer to Question 1

Ans: C
The nurse is demonstrating nonjudgmental value neutral care. This means she is respecting and accepting the individuality of patients, does not assume that her personal values are right, and does not judge the patients' values as right or wrong depending on their congruence with hers.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: C
Those who use the laissez-faire approach for value transmission leave children to explore values on their own (no one set of values is presented as best for all) and to develop a personal value system. This approach often involves little or no guidance and can lead to confusion and conflict.
