A client expresses anxiety regarding the 20-year-old daughter's ability to handle effectively the pressures of a career as a social worker
What factor is of highest priority in the daughter's ability to adapt to adverse circumstances in career that the nurse should address with the client at this time? A) The financial returns that she expects the career to offer
B) Adjustments made by her throughout childhood and adolescence
C) The support that she perceives from her peers
D) The parent's involvement in choosing the career for her
B
Feedback:
Adaptability to adverse circumstances in a young adult's career goals depend on adjustments made throughout childhood and adolescence. Expected financial returns and peer support, although important factors, do not affect the ability to adapt to adverse circumstances in a person's career as much as do adjustments made earlier in life. The parent's involvement in choosing the person's career does not affect the ability to adapt to adverse circumstances.
