For Watson's carative factors, which item is not included?

• A. Forming humanistic-altruistic value system
• B. Instilling faith-hope
• C. Cultivating sensitivity to self and others
• D. Strengthening flexible lines of defense

Answer: (D)

The question tests your knowledge of Watson’s carative factors, which describe the caring processes nurses use to promote healing. The items that fit within this framework are about forming a humane, value-centered approach, fostering faith and hope, and developing deep sensitivity to self and others to build a caring relationship, along with supporting expression of feelings, collaborative problem-solving, teaching-learning, a protective and supportive environment, meeting human needs, and allowing for spiritual expression. The phrase about strengthening flexible lines of defense does not belong to Watson’s carative factors. That concept comes from Roy’s Adaptation Model, which centers on how individuals adapt and defend against stress. So, the item describing strengthening flexible lines of defense is not part of Watson’s carative factors, making it the correct choice as the one not included.
