Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 4, 5

Rationale 1: Adjusting the intravenous infusion demonstrates partial presence by being present; however, there is more to presencing than just attending to a task.

Rationale 2: Talking with the client about the surgery does not demonstrating presencing because this does not fulfill the client's request for the nurse to stay and pray.

Rationale 3: Sitting next to the client in the holding area may demonstrate physical presence; however, the nurse is not fulfilling the client's request.

Rationale 4: Praying with the client for divine intervention demonstrates transcendent presence because the nurse is spiritually present for the client.

Rationale 5: Focusing on the client and fulfilling his needs demonstrates full presence.
