The nurse would evaluate the plan of care for a paraphilic client as having been effective if the client:
 
  1. Willfully withdrew from the program
  2. Asked to include his wife in the treatment program
  3. Acknowledged that he has a sexual disorder
  4. Requested an antianxiety medication to help him cope

Question 2

A client has been treated in the sexual disorders unit after being arrested for molesting two neighborhood children. At the treatment team meeting to evaluate his progress, the nurse report-ed his continued use of denial.
 
  Which comment by the client supports this evaluation?
  1. My parents abused me when I was a child.
  2. I only acted inappropriately because I was stressed.
  3. I am sorry for what I have done.
  4. There is nothing wrong with the way I behave.

Answer to Question 1

ANS: 3
Identification of the problem by the client is essential to successful treatment. 1. Willfully ending treatment is hardly evidence of successful treatment. 2. Wanting his wife to be included in the program is a way of shifting attention from the self. 4. This request has nothing to do with evalu-ation of treatment effectiveness.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 4
Stating that his behavior is normal indicates use of denial and failure to see that a problem exists. 1. This statement blames others for his behavior. 2. This statement is indicative of rationalization. 3. This shows recognition that the behavior was inappropriate.
