Answer to Question 1

Ans: D
When assessing self-concept, the information needed first is the client's description of self. Personal identity describes an individual's conscious sense of who he or she is. It can be assessed by asking, for example, How would you describe yourself to others?

Answer to Question 2

Ans: B
When confronted with a major stressor, many people forget they have histories of successful coping and numerous personal strengths. Nurses frequently fall into the trap of doing for clients, rather than helping those who are experiencing powerlessness identify personal strengths.
