Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Hope gives a person the ability to see life as enduring or having meaning or purpose. The nurse's actions do not address time management, reminiscence, or faith. Time management is organizing and prioritizing activities to be completed in a timely manner. Reminiscence is the relationship by mentally or verbally anecdotally relieving and remembering the person and past experiences. Faith is belief in a higher power.
