The client continues to ask questions about a surgical wound. The client states, "I think I would like help the first time I look at my wound." This is an example of:
1. Adaptation
2. Perception
3. Organizing
4. Guided response
ANS: 4
A guided response is the performance of an act under the guidance of an instructor. The client who is seeking help is demonstrating a guided response. Adaptation occurs when a person is able to change a motor response when unexpected problems arise. The client is not exhibiting adapta-tion. Perception is being aware of objects or qualities through the use of sense organs. This situa-tion is not an example of perception. Organizing is developing a value system by identifying and organizing values and resolving conflicts. This situation is not an example of organizing.
