The population health nurse is helping a client develop psychological flexibility. What actions should the nurse take to help this client? (Select all that apply.)
1. Mindfulness.
2. Develop coping skills.
3. Support effective parenting.
4. Attend programs outside of the home.
5. Acceptance and commitment therapy.
Answer: 1, 5
Explanation: 1. Psychological flexibility involves an attitude of acceptance of negative experiences, rather than attempting to avoid or control them, and engaging in behavior based on personal values. Two approaches can be used to increase psychological flexibility: acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) and mindfulness. ACT involves learning to detach oneself from negative experiences and focus on behaviors that support personal values. Mindfulness involves awareness of and attention to experiences as they occur in a nonjudgmental and accepting way. The development of coping skills helps with resiliency. Strategies to promote mental health in young children include support for effective parenting and child care programs outside the home.
