Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Over the years of marriage, the significant other incorporates this devaluation into his or her own self-concept, negatively affecting body image. The way others view a person's body and the feedback offered are also influential on body image and self-concept. Role confusion is part of a developmental task (identity versus role confusion) for adolescents. Rigidity and yearning are not components of self-concept.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Negative nonverbal reactions by a nurse to a patient's scar or surgical alterations contribute to the patient's developing a negative body image. Nurses who have shocked or disgusted facial expressions contribute to patients' developing a negative body image. Expressions of distaste by the nurse will not facilitate recovery or ongoing communication, encourage physical activity, or promote acceptance of the colostomy bag by adopting a positive nickname.
