Answer to Question 1

4

Rationale: Depressed clients frequently exhibit feelings of low self-esteem and worthlessness. An effective plan of care should be designed for the client to provide experiences that are chal-lenging but successful to enhance the client's self-esteem. Reminders of the client's past accom-plishments or personal successes are ways to interrupt the client's negative self-talk and distorted cognitive view of self.

Ans: A
