Question

question 1 of 5
which question would provide the nurse with the information needed first when assessing self - concept?
what do you see yourself doing 5 years from now?
do you like yourself?
what are some of your personal strengths?
how would you describe yourself to others?

Explanation:

When assessing self - concept, the most fundamental aspect is understanding how an individual perceives and defines themselves. Asking "How would you describe yourself to others?" directly taps into the core of self - concept, as it requires the person to articulate their self - image. Options A (future plans) is more about goals, B (liking oneself) is a part of self - esteem (a component of self - concept but not the first - step assessment of the overall self - concept), and C (personal strengths) focuses on a specific aspect rather than the overall self - description.

Answer:

D. How would you describe yourself to others?
