Answer to Question 1

A
The nurse must help the client to identify negative thoughts, emotions, and attitudes before the client can concentrate on changing this behavior. Pointing out every negative behavior would not be therapeutic, and assisting the client to replace negative thoughts and praising positive behavior promote development of a positive attitude but do not constitute the first step.
