Question

A female client tells the nurse, "I see how people look at me with my crooked back and short leg. No one has to tell me that I'm not pretty." The nurse realizes this client is exhibiting: a) An overinflated sense of self-esteem b) A well-developed self-concept c) An overactive imagination d) A low self-concept

Answer 1

D.

Step-by-step explanation:

The client's statement indicates a negative self-perception and suggests that she views herself in a negative light due to her physical characteristics, such as a crooked back and a short leg. This is indicative of a low self-concept or low self-esteem. A well-developed self-concept (b) would involve a more positive and balanced self-perception, while an overinflated sense of self-esteem (a) would involve an overly positive self-perception. An overactive imagination (c) is not directly related to the client's self-concept or self-esteem in this context.
