Values clarification is an ongoing process in which an individual becomes increasingly aware of what is important and justand why. The nurse can facilitate this process for clients by listing several health behaviors or values, such as health, happiness, independence, and good relationships, and ask clients to rank them or identify how they incorporate them into their lives why.
