Which nursing intervention would be helpful when caring for a client who has negative self-esteem?
 
  1. Find a way to praise the client during each encounter.
  2. Design a series of small successes for the client.
  3. Correct the client when negativity arises.
  4. Tell the client how much easier life would be with positive self-esteem.

Question 2

A client who has recently lost 75 pounds continues to dress in loose, baggy clothing and frequently talks about being fat. The nurse realizes this finding most likely indicates:
 
  1. Role confusion
  2. Body image disturbance
  3. Fear of success
  4. Lack of education

Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 2
Rationale 1: Correcting the client when negativity arises puts the client in a childlike role and will not encourage positive self-esteem.
Rationale 2: Clients who have negative self-esteem may have a history of failures and disappointments. Designing a series of small successes for the client will help foster a more positive attitude.
Rationale 3: Correcting the client when negativity arises puts the client in a childlike role and will not encourage positive self-esteem.
Rationale 4: The client likely already knows how much better life would be with positive self-esteem, so reiterating that fact would not be helpful.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 2
Rationale 1: Role confusion would be indicated if the client did not have a clear indication of what role to fulfill in life or how to fulfill a chosen role.
Rationale 2: The most likely interpretation of this finding is that the client continues to see himself as fat, which is a body image disturbance.
Rationale 3: The nurse would need more information to make this conclusion.
Rationale 4: More information is needed to come to this conclusion.
