Question 1 of 5

A nurse is assisting with the court-ordered admission of a client to a substance-abuse program. The client states, 'You are all angry at me and wish you could go out and have a drink.' The client's response is an example of which of the following defense mechanisms?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Identification: Identification involves taking on the characteristics of another person, group, or entity. The client's response is not an example of identification. Relation-formation: This term is not a recognized defense mechanism in the context of classical psychoanalytic theory. It seems to be a combination of two concepts but doesn't fit the context of the client's statement. Projection: Projection is a defense mechanism where an individual attributes their own unacceptable thoughts, feelings, or impulses to another person. In this scenario, the client is projecting their own feelings of anger and a desire to have a drink onto the nurse and others, suggesting that the staff is angry at them and wants to go out for a drink. Compensation: Compensation involves making up for a perceived weakness by emphasizing a strength in another area. The client's statement do[es not fit this description].
