Answer to Question 1

ANS: 4
A physical health deficit that prevents role assumption can create a problem in the role perfor-mance component of self-concept. A client who is verbalizing concern about continuing a previ-ous occupation is not demonstrating a problem in body image, but rather in the role performance component of self-concept. Self-esteem is closely related to self-concept, but is not a component of self-concept. Identity involves the internal sense of individuality, wholeness, and consistency of a person over time and in various circumstances. The client is verbalizing concern about role performance, not necessarily identity.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 4
Being angry, being excessively dependent, and having a passive attitude are all behaviors sugges-tive of an altered self-concept. The older client, who has lost a spouse and is now demanding excessive assistance from a child, is demonstrating an alteration in the integrity stage of his psy-chosocial development. Accepting one's limitations is not consistent with a disturbance in the integrity stage of psychosocial development. Verbalizing fear about the surgery is not consistent with a disturbance in the integrity stage of psychosocial development. Expressing thoughts about one's care is not consistent with a disturbance in the integrity stage of psychosocial development.
