Answer to Question 1

ANS: 3
According to Benner, caring means that persons, events, projects, and things matter to people.
Watson defines caring as a new consciousness and moral idea.
Swanson defines caring as a nurturing way of relating to a valued other toward whom one feels a personal sense of commitment and responsibility.
According to Leininger, caring is the central, unifying, and dominant domain distinguishing nursing from other health disciplines and is necessary for the health and survival of all individu-als.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 1
Acquiring assistance from a staff member before performing a new procedure demonstrates car-ing behavior toward a client. If the graduate nurse has the assistance of someone who is skilled in the procedure, the client will be less likely to experience anxiety and the procedure will likely be completed quicker.
Performing new treatments as quickly as possible may convey a message of the nurse not having time for the client, or not valuing the client as a person.
Being honest is important, but informing clients of a lack of experience may only increase the client's level of anxiety.
Avoiding uncomfortable situations does not demonstrate caring behavior toward the client. In contrast, it demonstrates detachment and a lack of commitment on the part of the nurse.
