- In blacksmithing, a sword has integrity when it has been heated in a forge, pounded into shape with a hammer, and then hardened by cooling in oil or water. Integrity, in this case, means the absence of structural imperfections, which leads to the ability to hold up under stress. How does this definition relate to the scriptural use of the word integrity? How is it related to perseverance?
- Give an example of how you might demonstrate integrity or perseverance in your academic, professional, or personal life as a nurse.
