Jean Watson's Theory of Human Caring Quiz

Jean Watson's Theory of Human Caring primarily emphasizes:

• The administration of medications and technology use

• The science of disease pathology and treatment

• The transpersonal relationship between nurse and patient

• The economic efficiency of healthcare institutions

According to Watson, "carative factors" were later evolved into:

• Humanistic traits of behavior

• Technical nursing competencies

• Clinical Caritas Processes

• Evidence-based interventions

The goal of Watson's theory is to:

• Enhance medical procedures in critical care

• Promote healing through caring relationships

• Reduce patient stays through fast recovery

• Increase patient compliance with medication

Watson describes "transpersonal caring" as:

• A time-saving communication method

• Going beyond ego to connect with patient's spirit

• Physical support given during clinical care

• Managing care through documentation systems

In Watson's theory, caring is:

• Limited to psychiatric care settings

• Performed only during critical illness

• The essence and moral ideal of nursing

• Mostly focused on technical tasks

A nurse takes time to sit quietly and listen to a patient expressing grief after surgery. This is an example of:

• Transpersonal caring moment

• Efficient time management

• Distraction from tasks

• Emotional detachment

In a cancer ward, a nurse encourages a patient to express fears and discusses them openly. This best reflects which Caritas Process?

• Developing technical skills

• Cultivating sensitivity to oneself and others

• Promoting evidence-based practice

• Evaluating the effectiveness of medication

Case: A patient with chronic illness says, "I feel hopeless." The nurse responds, "Tell me more about what you're going through." This shows:

• Documentation of emotional changes

• Focusing on discharge planning

• Caring presence and active listening

• Enforcing boundaries between nurse and patient

When a nurse integrates healing environments like music, plants, or aromatherapy into care, this reflects:

• Creating a healing environment at all levels

• Promoting hospital branding techniques

• Disregarding scientific nursing

• Creating dependency in patients

Watson's theory views illness as:

• Solely a biological dysfunction

• A subjective experience of imbalance

• A deficiency of medications

• An opportunity for surgery and intervention
