A nurse is assessing an obese teenager who is unhappy and stressed out because she has not lost weight despite working out at the gym. The physician asks the nurse to try the modeling intervention for stress management for the client
Which of the following actions should the nurse perform when adhering to the modeling intervention? A) Ask the client to discontinue her exercise regimen
B) Introduce the client to someone who has successfully lost weight
C) Ask the client to identify the reasons for her eating
D) Ask the client to undergo liposuction surgery
B
Feedback:
The nurse should introduce the client to a person who demonstrates a positive attitude or behavior as this promotes the ability to learn an adaptive response. The nurse should not ask the client to discontinue her exercise regime or undergo liposuction surgery as that could lead to further medical complications. Assessing the reasons for the client's eating habits is not a component of the modeling intervention.
