Answer to Question 1

ANS: 1
Knowing the client is striving to understand an event as it has meaning in the life of the client.
While offering the client's family a sleeper chair is an example of caring, it is not the best exam-ple of knowing the client because it centers on the physical needs of the family.
While providing an extra blanket to the client is an example of caring, it is not the best example of knowing the client.
Awakening the client for a phone call from her son who lives out of town would be an example of knowing the client only after the nurse truly had that insight; otherwise, it is an assumption and could interfere with actually knowing the client.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 3
Maintaining belief is sustaining faith in the client's ability to successfully traverse the situation and have a meaningful life. Offering a client with cancer pain medication before a family visit is an example of doing for others what they cannot do for themselves. Explaining to a client what to expect during a bone marrow aspiration is an example of enabling that helps the client traverse the situation. Explaining to a client that he may select from a variety of entrees for dinner is an example of enabling that helps the client traverse the situation.
