A client tells the nurse that she often feels pressure from her family to spend every Sunday with them. However, her husband does not want to participate and stays at home waiting for her to return
The nurse realizes this client's self-concept is being determined by: 1. Stressors.
2. Resources.
3. History of successes and failures.
4. Family and culture.
4. Family and culture.
Rationale:
The client is conflicted because her family has one set of expectations and her husband has another. This will adversely affect the client's self-concept. Stressors are those events that either cause a person to become stronger or respond in a maladaptive way. Resources can be internal or external. Internal resources are confidence and values; external resources include a support network, finances, and organizations. A history of successes and failures can impact self-concept. People with a history of failures will tend to see themselves as failures and view life in a negative way. Those with a history of successes will often have a positive self-concept and view life as successful.
