and bed linens, and repositions the client. Which of the following nursing values is the nurse exhibiting?

Rationale 3: The nurse is caring for the client, so the value displayed is caring. The degrees of timeliness and
precision exhibited are unknown because we don't have enough information. While the type of care provided is
