Question

Values clarification can help clients gain an awareness of personal priorities,identify ambiguities in values,and resolve major conflicts between values and behavior.Values clarification for nurses can help nurses strengthen their ability to advocate for a client because nurses are better able to identify personal values and accurately identify the values of the client.Values clarification is not necessarily beneficial for the client when the client and nurse have different beliefs.Values clarification for the client will not necessarily help the nurse who is unsure of the client's values.Values clarification interventions for the client will help the client,not the nurse,gain awareness.The values that an individual holds reflect cultural and social influences,relationships,and personal needs.Values vary among people and develop and change over time.Therefore it may be inappropriate to state a client has rejected "normal" values when value systems vary among people.What is considered normal to one person may not be to another.
