When another patient serves as "alter ego" during an outpatient group session, the nurse documents that the group had been engaged in:
a. Role-playing
b. Psychodrama
c. Cognitive therapy
d. Consensus building
ANS: B
Psychodrama uses spontaneous dramas to act out emotional problems to promote health through development of new perceptions, behaviors, and connections with others. Others in the group take the role of significant others. Role-playing and cognitive therapy do not use the technique of alter egos. Consensus building is not a form of therapy.
