ANSWER

ANS: 3
Nursing is an art and a science. As a professional nurse you will learn to deliver care artfully with compassion, caring, and a respect for each client’s dignity and personhood. As a science, nursing is based on a body of knowledge that is continually changing with new discoveries and innova-tions. When you integrate the science and art of nursing into your practice, the quality of care you provide to your clients is at a level of excellence that benefits clients and their families.
Caring is one part of the art of nursing.
While the client is the focus of nursing practice, this focus is not the main contributor to quality care.
