The stage of hospitalization during which the client reestablishes personal identity and becomes self-centered is the time when the client is:
a. Going to be discharged
b. Feeling overwhelmed
c. Becoming emotionally stabilized
d. Adapting to the environment
C
During the stabilization stage, the hospitalized person gradually gains the strength to reestablish some personal identity. Some clients become self-centered at this time because they are focusing on their illness. When the client is going to be discharged is not considered a stage of hospitalization; feeling overwhelmed is the first stage, and adapting to the environment is the third stage.
