A nursing instructor is teaching about components present in the recovery process as described by Andresen and associates that led to the development of the Psychological Recovery Model
Which student statement indicates that further teaching is needed? 1. "A client has a better chance of recovery if he or she truly believes that recovery can occur."
2. "If a client is willing to give the responsibility of treatment to the health-care team, they are likely to recover."
3. "A client who has a positive sense of self and a positive identity is likely to recover."
4. "A client has a better chance of recovery if he or she has purpose and meaning in life."
2
Rationale: In examining a number of studies, Andresen and associates identified four components that were consistently evident in the recovery process. These components are hope, responsibility, self and identity, and meaning and purpose. Under responsibility, this model tasks the client, not the health-care team, with taking responsibility for his or her life and well-being.
