ANSWER

ANS: 1
According to Riemen, the nurse being physically present with the client provides a perception of caring, which is shared by both female and male clients.
Promotion of autonomy was not found to be a perception of caring behavior by female and male clients in Riemen’s study. Mayer found promotion of autonomy to be identified as nurse caring behavior as perceived by families of clients with cancer.
Mayer found knowledge of injection technique to be perceived as a nursing caring behavior by cancer clients.
Speed of treatment completion was not perceived as a nursing caring behavior.
