When developing a nursing practice, it is important for the nurse to:
a. be exposed to negative as well as positive role models.
b. avoid negative role models as much as possible.
c. understand that caring and compassion are taught in class.
d. consider another profession if he/she is not naturally compassionate.
ANS: A
Lohri-Posey evaluated how nursing students learned to be caring, The surprising finding was that the negative role models inspired the students to not be like those people and motivated the students just as much as the positive role models. In her study, Lohri-Posey concluded that caring and compassion depended on personal qualities within the individual student, or on experiences that shaped the student's values, rather than on something that was taught in class.
