A teenager describes herself as tall, attractive, female, student, intelligent. What part of her self-concept is she describing?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Self-description reflects awareness. 'Self-knowledge' fitse.g., 'tall, attractive' shows what she knows about herself, per Taylor's components, a factual base. 'Self-expectations' are goalse.g., 'I'll be a doctor,' not current traits. 'Self-esteem' is valuee.g., 'I'm great,' not descriptors. 'Self-evaluation' judgese.g., 'I'm smart enough,' not listing. Her wordse.g., 'student'map her identity/body image, not worth or aims. Nurses use this for rapport, making Choice C correct.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Powerlessness needs empowerment. 'Encourage patients to identify their strengths' helpse.g., 'I'm good at planning' boosts control, per Taylor's self-concept care, countering helplessness. Choice A, 'weaknesses,' deepens despaire.g., 'I fail,' not healing. Choice C, 'provide advice,' guidese.g., 'Try this,' but doesn't own power. Choice D, 'set goals for them,' disempowerse.g., 'I'll decide,' not patient-led. A nurse saying, 'What are you strong at?'e.g., 'I cook well'shifts a bedridden patient to agency, a key intervention. Choice B is the correct, empowering strategy.

Rationale: Crying to bad news is behavioral. 'Coping mechanism' fitse.g., tears release tension, per Taylor's stress management, a conscious response. 'Adaptation' is broadere.g., physiological shift like sweating, not just crying. 'Homeostasis' is balancee.g., BP stabilizing, not emotion. 'Defense mechanism' is unconsciouse.g., denial, not overt tears. A patient sobbinge.g., 'Cancer's too much'copes via expression, a nurse's cue for support. Coping variese.g., 60% cry, 20% withdrawmaking Choice C the correct, specific term.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: Anxiety's essence is unease. 'Unknown cause, emotional, apprehensive' best describese.g., vague dread, per Taylor's psychology, not tied to clear threat. Choice A, 'known threat, depression,' mixese.g., depression lags, not anxious core. Choice B, 'visible threat, anger,' fits feare.g., a bear, not anxiety's blur. Choice C, 'known, prolonged, physical,' is stresse.g., pain, not psyche. A patiente.g., 'Something's wrong'feels jittery (e.g., HR up 10 bpm), emotional, not sourced, a nursing focus for calm. Choice D is the correct trio.
