A nurse is working as part of a multidisciplinary team and developing a plan of care for a client who is receiving recovery-oriented treatment. Which of the following would the nurse integrate into this plan?
A) Focusing primarily on the mind
B) Limiting support from others
C) Using hope as motivation
D) Avoiding underlying trauma
Ans: C
Recovery emerges from hope: The belief that recovery is real provides the essential and motivating message of a better future—that people can and do overcome the internal and external challenges, barriers, and obstacles that confront them. Recovery is also holistic, addressing an individual's whole life, including body, mind, spirit, and community. Recovery is supported by peers and allies and through relationships and social networks. Finally, recovery is supported by addressing trauma, such that services and supports should be informed by trauma to foster safety.
