Which of the following nursing actions will have the most therapeutic impact on the self-esteem of a client with HIV?
 
  1. Dealing with the client's needs in a nonjudgmental manner
  2. Being aware of how the client will react based on the client's culture
  3. Providing care that will meet the client's emotional and physical needs
  4. Being careful to avoid nonverbal communication that could be misinterpreted

Question 2

The best indication that a client will regain a good sense of self esteem after experiencing a sec-ond below the knee (BTK) amputation is:
 
  1. The client stating, I'll get over this setback
  2. A solid, caring relationship with family and friends
  3. A healthy sense of self esteem after the first amputation
  4. The client telling his wife, I'll still be able to work from a wheelchair.

Answer to Question 1

ANS: 1
A nurse's acceptance of a client with an altered self-concept helps promote positive change. The nurse must have the ability to convey a nonjudgmental attitude toward clients so as to convey an accepting attitude. The remaining options are therapeutic but they are all outcomes of a non-judgmental attitude on the part of the nurse.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 3
Once established, basic feelings about the self tend to be constant, even though a situational cri-sis temporarily affects self-esteem. While the remaining options reflect positive behaviors or situ-ations, they are dependent to a large degree on the client's previously established sense of self-esteem.
