True.

By turning the steering wheel in an anti clockwise direction.
Turning to the right, when going forward, you turn the steering wheel towards the right.
whining sound when turning the steering wheel, in either direction, means that the power steering fluid is low and/or possibly the power steering pump is going bad.
The purpose of the steering system allows the driver to control the direction of the vehicle by turning the front wheels.
A bad bearing can cause can the front end of car to make a squeaking noise when turning steering wheel either direction. It can also be caused by bad suspension.
Try turning the steering wheel one direction or the other as you try to turn the key.
Power steering means that there is basically a small motor helping you to steer. W/o power steering there's only a sort of gear box and your arms that are turning the front wheels to another direction.
Hard turning in one direction can mean a bind in the front end components or the power steering fluid flow is not switching from one side to the other. Check the tie rod ends and steering components with the front end lifted on jack stands.
I have a 97 suburban and the steering randomly slips causing the truck to jerk the direction it slips because the driver will over correct the movement. The steering will slip to the right majority of the time.
This is good advice for teaching beginning drivers about turns. If the wheel is turned before the car is moving, most likely the vehicle will not have enough room to turn properly. Also, if you have the wheel turned while you are waiting for traffic to clear and you are rear ended, you will get pushed head-on into oncoming traffic.
