A report from the school psychologist indicates that a 10-year-old child often is teased by his classmates. The child said to the psychologist, "I know I am not as good as them, so I just play by myself at recess every day."
The nurse knows that the child most likely has: 1. A poor body image.
2. A self-determined concept.
3. A good sense of self-worth.
4. Decreased self-esteem.
4
Rationale:
1. There are no data in this scenario to indicate that the child has a problem with body image, since there is no information related to why other children are teasing the child.
2. There are no data in this scenario to indicate whether the child has a self-determined concept.
3. This child would not have a good sense of self-worth.
4. The child's statement reveals no interaction with other children during play periods; therefore, the child's self-esteem is low.
