A client who has been blinded as result of an injury informs the rehabilitation staff of planning to return to her counseling practice and working full-time. The nurse should realize that this client is demonstrating which aspect of values clarification?
1. Choosing
2. Prizing
3. Acting
4. Clarifying
Correct Answer: 3
Rationale 1: Choosing is a cognitive action. Beliefs are chosen freely without outside pressure, from among alternatives, and after reflecting and considering consequences. That is not the aspect of values clarification described in the stem.
Rationale 2: Prizing is an affective action where chosen beliefs are prized and cherished. That is not the aspect of values clarification described in the stem.
Rationale 3: The "acting" component of values clarification is a behavioral action in which chosen beliefs are affirmed to others, incorporated into one's behavior, and repeated consistently in one's life. Stating the intention to return to prior employment on a full-time basis would be an affirmation of the client's plan.
Rationale 4: Clarifying values is the process in which choosing, prizing, and acting are accomplished. That is not the aspect of values clarification described in the stem.
