A mother says to a nurse, "I am so concerned about my 14-year-old daughter, since she has been caught stealing small articles of clothing and jewelry from stores on several occasions
" The nurse begins a discussion on strategies for improving ethical behavior. This plan of care is part of: 1. Health maintenance.
2. Health promotion.
3. Behavioral discipline.
4. Moral conditioning.
2
Rationale:
1. Since there is a report of unethical behaviors in this scenario, the nurse would not be using health maintenance strategies, which would not be problem-focused. Health maintenance would not involve a discussion on ethical behaviors.
2. Health promotion includes strategies designed to improve the state of wellness.
3. A discussion on strategies for improving ethical behavior might include consequences (discipline), but there is no indication in the stem that the nurse is advocating discipline.
4. Moral conditioning is not an applicable choice.
