As part of a psychosocial assessment, the nurse determines a client's ability to make judgments. To do this, the nurse might ask the client:
 
  1. How do you feel about persons of a different cultural background than yours?
  2. Can you repeat these five words back to me: lecture, ketchup, pickle, broom, and door?
  3. Can you explain what 'The early bird catches the worm' means?
  4. What would you do if the fire alarm went off just now?

Question 2

The nurse is performing a psychosocial assessment, and asks the client to interpret a proverb, such as slow and steady wins the race. The nurse should use the client's response to evaluate the client's:
 
  1. memory recall.
  2. ability to think abstractly.
  3. ability to problem-solve.
  4. judgment skills.
