Question 4 of 5

Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Personality encompasses traits behavior, mood, talents that make individuals unique, a psychological concept distinct from philosophy (beliefs guiding life), charm (social appeal), or character (moral values). In nursing, personality influences patient interactions e.g., an empathetic nurse builds trust differently than a reserved one. This individuality, shaped by upbringing and experience, impacts care delivery, making it a key focus in understanding nurse-client dynamics.
Question 5 of 5
He described the development of faith. He suggested that faith is a spiritual dimension that gives meaning to a persons life. Faith according to him, is a relational phenomenon.
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: James Fowler's faith development theory, from the 1980s, views faith as a spiritual, relational force giving life meaning e.g., a patient's trust in a nurse reflects this. Gilligan's care ethics, Westerhoff's behavioral faith, and Freud's psychology differ. Fowler's stages from intuitive to universalizing guide nurses in addressing spiritual needs, enhancing holistic care.
