Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

During interactions with a client, the nurse helps the client identify the underlying beliefs, and then they explore the evidence that supports or refutes the beliefs about an event (the thoughts a person has about a problem are not beliefs); identify alternative explanations of the event; and finally examine the real implications if the beliefs are true (e.g., "What is the worst thing that could happen?").
