A mother says to a nurse,"I am concerned about my 14-year-old daughter,because she has been caught stealing small articles of clothing and jewelry from stores on several occasions."
The nurse begins a discussion on strategies for improving ethical behavior. This plan of care is part of
1. health maintenance.
2. health promotion.
3. behavioral discipline.
4. moral conditioning.
Answer:2
Rationale:Health promotion includes strategies designed to improve the state of wellness.Since there is a report of unethical behavior in this scenario,the nurse would not be using health maintenance strategies to address this problem.Health maintenance would not involve a discussion on ethical behaviors. While a discussion on strategies for improving ethical behavior may include consequences (discipline),there is no indication in the stem that the nurse is advocating discipline.Moral conditioning is a distractor choice.
