A male teenage client tells the nurse that his friends like to drink alcohol occasionally to get drunk. The client's friends see nothing wrong with their drinking habits
The client states that he was taught by his parents and agrees that underage drinking is not acceptable. Also, he has never seen his parents drunk; therefore, he refuses to drink with his friends. Which mode of transmission best describes how this client's particular value was formed? a. Moralizing
b. Modeling
c. Reward-punishment
d. Laissez-faire
B
Modeling best describes how the teenage client developed this value because his parents not only discussed this issue but behaved in a way for the teen to copy. Moralizing sets standards of right and wrong with no choices allowed; the reward-punishment model reward valued behavior and punishes undesired behavior; and the laissez-faire model imposes no restriction or direction on choices.
