C
Feedback:
Self-care is dynamic. Strategies that proved successful in the past may become less effective and need replacement. The nurse should identify new strategies to correct the health problem. The nurse should not do nothing or avoid dwelling on the health problem since neither of these will be helpful. The nurse should not continue to implement a strategy that no longer works because it has been shown to not help the current problem.
