Answer to Question 1

C
The nurse should instruct the parents to encourage the children's talents and accept limitations. Be realistic in expectations and avoid comparing one child to another. Instruct the parents that a child's self-concept continues to develop over time and is greatly influenced by interactions and experiences with others.

Answer to Question 2

C
When assessing a patient's self-concept, the nurse needs to consider both the developmental age and the chronological age of the patient.
