Self-awareness is an important aspect of nursing practice in any specialty. Which of the following questions would the nurse ask to build self-awareness when working with child psychiatric clients? Standard Text: Select all that apply
1. "What don't I like about this child?"
2. "How can I use this opportunity to learn more about myself?"
3. "What am I learning about myself as I work with this child?"
4. "How do I avoid working with the parents?"
1,2,3
Rationale: All of the questions apply to developing self-awareness except avoiding working with the parents; parents need to be involved in order for treatment to progress. Asking, "What am I learning about myself as I work with this child?" and "What don't I like about this child?" are necessary to help one examine thoughts and feelings which contribute to self-awareness. Asking, "How can I use this opportunity to learn more about myself?" is necessary for personal growth.
