QUESTION

Which option best describes the major emphasis of the approach traditionally taken by physicians in their relationship with clients?

1. Caring
2. Communication
3. Clinical, biological
4. Behavioral science

ANSWER:

Correct Answer: 3

Physicians have traditionally taken a clinical, biological approach to their relationship with clients, with a strong emphasis on the curing aspects of care. Nurses use behavioral science and communication skills to develop their professional relationships with clients, with a strong emphasis on caring. This dichotomy can result in conflict between the physician role and the nursing role.
