NURSING ETHICS –

197
Q

____constitutes one of the basic concepts of caritative caring ethics. ______ is partly absolute dignity, partly relative dignity. ____ is granted the human being through creation, while relative dignity is influenced and formed through culture and external contexts. A human being’s absolute dignity involves the right to be confirmed as a unique human being (Eriksson, 1988, 1995, 1997)

A

dignity
human dignity
absolute dignity

198
Q

_____ constitutes the context of the meaning of caring and is the structure that determines caring reality. It is a form of intimate connection that characterizes caring. It requires meeting in time and space, an absolute, lasting presence. It is characterized by intensity and vitality, and by warmth, closeness, rest, respect, honesty, and tolerance. It cannot be taken for granted but pre-supposes a conscious effort to be with the other. it is seen as the source of strength and meaning in caring

A

Caring communion

199
Q

refers to the act that occurs when the career welcomes the patient to the caring communion. The concept of this finds room for a place where the human being is allowed to rest, a place that breathes genuine hospitality, and where the patient’s appeal for charity meets with a response (Eriksson, 1995; Eriksson & Lindström, 2000)

A

Invitation

200
Q

this refers to the drama of suffering. A human being who suffers wants to be confirmed in his or her suffering and be given time and space to suffer and reach reconciliation. this implies a change through which a new wholeness is formed of the life the human being has lost in suffering. In this, the importance of sacrifice emerges (Eriksson, 1994a). Having achieved this implies living with an imperfection with regard to oneself and others but seeing a way forward and a meaning in one’s suffering. this is a prerequisite of caritas (Eriksson, 1990)

A

Reconciliation (this)

201
Q

_____ is the concept that Eriksson uses to describe the patient.

The patient refers to the concept of patients (Latin), which means “____.” The patient is a

suffering human being

202
Q

is the concept that Eriksson (1987) uses instead of environment. It characterizes the total caring reality and is based on cultural elements such as traditions, rituals, and basic values. It transmits an inner order of value preferences or ethos, and the different constructions of culture have their basis in the changes of value that ethos undergoes. If communion arises based on the ethos, the culture becomes inviting. Respect for the human being, his or her dignity and holiness, forms the goal of communion and participation in a caring culture.

A

Caring culture

203
Q

The origin of the concept of ____is to be found in such dimensions as reverence, tending, cultivating, and caring; these dimensions are central to the basic motive of preserving and developing a caring culture
