Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Ethnic and cultural differences in self-concept and self-esteem have been noted across the life span. Ethnic pride and self-esteem often are positively correlated. Environmental stressors such as low-income, body image stressors such as acne, and role performance failure often influence self-esteem negatively.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Nurses can improve self-image by reviewing old photographs when working with elderly patients. This form of life review is helpful to older adults in remembering positive life events and people. Discussing weather does not involve personal reflection. Singing improves global cognition, not self-concept. Giving patients extra computer time is not applicable to improving self-concept.
