Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 4
Rationale 1: Meaning arises from a person's interrelationship with the world. Rhythmicity is the movement toward greater diversity.
Rationale 2: Rhythmicity is the movement toward greater diversity.
Rationale 3: Intersubjectivity is not one of Parse's assumptions.
Rationale 4: Contranscendence is the process of reaching out beyond the self, which would be what the nurse in this scenario has implemented.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 3
Rationale 1: The nurse may not need to provide all needs and cares to the clients.
Rationale 2: Being conscientious of a zone of professionalism (i.e., keeping distant) would not be a characteristic of caring according to Watson.
Rationale 3: A caring environment, according to Watson's assumptions of caring, offers the development of potential while allowing the person to choose the best action for the self at a given point in time.
Rationale 4: Taking choices away from clients by making selections for them is also not a good example of true caring, as defined by Watson.
