Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The nurse should determine barriers to achieving the goal in order to develop a plan to address those barriers and facilitate the client's ability to verbalize positive things about himself. Option A is not appropriate as it does not promote the client's self-reflection and autonomy. Option B may not be effective as it relies on the perceptions of others rather than the client's own self-reflection. Option D is not appropriate as it neglects the client's unmet goal and does not promote further progress towards achieving it.
