Question 5 of 5
Caring means that person, events, projects and things matter to people. It reveals stress and coping options. Caring creates responsibility. It is an inherent feature of nursing practice. It helps the nurse assist clients to recover in the face of the illness.
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Patricia Benner's model, rooted in her 1980s work ‘From Novice to Expert,' frames caring as a relational act where people and events matter, fostering connection. She sees it as inherent to nursing, revealing stress and coping strategies while driving responsibility to aid recovery. Unlike Watson's spiritual lens, Leininger's cultural emphasis, or Swanson's processes, Benner ties caring to skill development e.g., an expert nurse intuitively comforts a distressed patient, re-establishing trust. Her ‘Care Bear' mnemonic links caring to connection, influencing how nurses progress from rule-based to intuitive practice, a concept widely applied in clinical education and mentorship.
