A client explains that before leaving for work, the children need to be taken to daycare and dinner needs to be prepared for that evening. Based on this data, the nurse plans care for which item?
A) Self-esteem
B) Role mastery
C) Role conflict
D) Role ambiguity
Answer: C
Role conflicts arise when there are incompatibilities with expectations. The client is expected to be at work, care for children, and make dinner. All of these expectations could lead to the client's experiencing role conflict. Role mastery occurs when a person's behaviors meet social expectations. Role ambiguity occurs when expectations are unclear and people do not know what to do or how to do it and are unable to predict the reactions of others to their actions. Self-esteem is one's own judgment of one's worth.
