A nurse has been working with a difficult client and at one point, elects to put aside the nurse’s own beliefs and is able to experience a sense of true empathy for the client’s situation.

This is an example of which assumption, according to Parse’s human becoming theory?
1. Meaning

Correct Answer: 4
Rationale 1: Meaning arises from a person’s interrelationship with the world. Rhythmicity is the movement toward greater diversity.

Rationale 3: Intersubjectivity is not one of Parse’s assumptions.
Rationale 4: Contranscendence is the process of reaching out beyond the self, which would be what the nurse in this scenario has implemented.
