Question 2
A psychiatric nurse has worked with a client throughout the client's 6-week, short-term outpatient psychiatric treatment and is guiding the client to formulate follow-up independent self-care plans.
The nurse gently teases the client about a momentary lapse into an old maladaptive behavior. The client responds by smiling and saying, You're right See? I am so much better now The old me would have stormed out of here cursing if you had said that the first day we met. The client's response indicates that the nurse's primary purpose in this use of humor with this client succeeded because it promotes the client's: a. acceptance of a lifelong problem
b. insight and control of symptoms
c. awareness of the need for long-term treatment
d. conscious use of defense mechanisms
