A psychiatric–mental health nurse is providing care for a client with a mental disorder. The client is participating in the decision-making process. The nurse interprets this as which component of recovery?
A) Self-direction
B) Collaborative
C) Person-centered
D) Holistic
Ans: B
In recovery-oriented care, the person with a mental health problem develops a partnership with a clinician to manage the illness, strengthen coping abilities, and build resilience for life's challenges. Being involved in decision making helps the patient transition from a dependent-driven relationship to a collaborative recovery-oriented one. Self-direction is reflected as individuals define their own goals and design a path to meet those goals. Individualized and person-centered recovery is reflected by the individual's use of his or her own unique strengths and resilience as well as needs, preferences, experiences, and cultural background. Holistic involves the whole life of the individual—mind, body, spirit, and community.
