A nurse is admitting a client to an alcohol abuse program. The client states,“I’m here because of my boss. It was part of my job to party and drink with clients.” The client’s statement is an example of which of the following defense mechanisms?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D: Rationalization. The client is justifying their behavior of excessive drinking by blaming it on their job requirements. Rationalization is a defense mechanism where an individual tries to justify or explain their actions in a rational or logical manner to make them more acceptable. In this case, the client is rationalizing their alcohol abuse by attributing it to their job demands.
Suppression (
A) is the conscious decision to push thoughts or feelings aside. Reaction-formation (
B) is expressing the opposite of one's true feelings. Compensation (
