Question 1 of 5

A client states to the nurse, 'I am not sure how others see me but I want them to think I am happy.' The nurse determines the client is describing which behavior?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Persona is a concept developed by Carl Jung and describes the behavior of what a person appears to be to others in contrast to how the client really is—this is similar to being an actress or actor and assuming a role with this. Unconditional positive regard relates to a nonjudgmental caring for the client so is more related to how others treat the client versus view the client. Operant behavior involves conditioning and relates to having a stimulus that causes a reaction. Modeling involves internalizing behaviors of others so this would not relate to how the client wants to be seen but what the client is doing to change their behavior.
