During a midterm evaluation, the nurse educator tells the students they need to work on improving their aesthetic knowledge. A good way for the students to accomplish this is to:
1. Study harder.
2. Take better notes.
3. Read about the same topic from a variety of sources.
4. Spend time in the clinical area with seasoned nurses.
Correct Answer: 4
Rationale: Aesthetic knowing is the art of nursing and is expressed by the individual nurse through his or her creativity and style in meeting the needs of clients. Understanding how other nurses meet the needs of their clients and seeing a variety of methods to provide the same care will help improve this type of knowledge for the students. The other options are ways to improve empirical knowing.
