When a client who had a stroke gives up all hope of any amount of recovery, the nurse solicits a visit from a former stroke client who has physical limitations but has since gone back to work and through adaptation, can function independently at home
This nurse has fulfilled which role, according to Parse?
1. Mobilizing transcendence
2. Synchronizing rhythm
3. Illuminating meaning
4. True presence
Correct Answer: 3
Rationale 1: Mobilizing transcendence is dreaming of possibilities and planning to reach them.
Rationale 2: Synchronizing rhythm involves leading through discussion to recognize harmony..
Rationale 3: According to Parse's theory, illuminating meaning refers to uncovering what was and what will be. In this situation, the stroke is what was, and the client who is now independent is what could be for the nurse's current client.
Rationale 4: Nurses must provide a "true presence" to their clients, but this is not a role in Parse's theory; it is a behavior.
