A mother says to a nurse, "I am so concerned about my 14-year-old daughter because 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. Moral conditioning.
2. Health maintenance.
3. Behavioral discipline.
4. Health promotion.
4
Rationale 1: Moral conditioning is not an applicable choice.
Rationale 2: Because the mother has reported the daughter is already engaging in unethical behavior, 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.
Rationale 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.
Rationale 4: Health promotion includes strategies designed to improve the state of wellness.
