Answer to Question 1

ANS: 2
Tell me what you're thinking right now is correct. Values clarification is a process of self-discovery in which the nurse should assist the client. The goal of values clarification with a client is effective nurse-client communication. As the client becomes more willing to express problems and feelings, the nurse can better establish an individualized plan of care. The character of a nurse's response to a client can motivate the client to examine personal thoughts and actions. When the nurse makes a clarifying response, it should be brief and nonjudgmental.
