Near the end of her orientation to a unit, a new nurse tells her mentor, I've become aware of my need to influence vulnerable clients so I can feel more in control. It can be determined that the new nurse has engaged in the process of:

1. Labeling
2. Stereotyping
3. Subjectivity
4. Autodiagnosis

Question 2

When a client tells the nurse, It's so wonderful how you've helped me; I think I've fallen in love with you, it suggests that:

1. The client is goal-directed
2. Confrontation is occurring
3. The client is demonstrating unhealthy boundaries
4. The nurse is motivated by the desire to contribute to society

Answer to Question 1

ANS: 4
Autodiagnosis is the examination of one's own thoughts, feelings, perceptions, attitudes, and motives about a situation. The need for control or power motivates some nurses to enter the pro-fession. It is important to become aware of this motivation so that it can be replaced with a healthier motivation.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 3
Falling in love with someone who reaches out suggests the presence of unhealthy boundaries. 1. The situation does not reveal any data about the client being focused on goals. 2. This is not an example of confrontation, a process of pointing out a discrepancy. 4. The situation does not re-veal information about nurse motivation.
