Question

question 3 of 10
a client expresses feeling overwhelmed with little sense of control or purpose in their lives. the nurse focuses on strategies to assist the client in developing which factor of adaptability?
physiologic reserve
self - esteem
hardiness
resistance

Explanation:

Self - esteem is related to one's sense of self - worth and confidence. When a client feels overwhelmed with little sense of control or purpose, enhancing self - esteem can help them regain a positive view of themselves and their ability to manage life. Physiologic reserve is more about the body's physical ability to handle stress (e.g., organ function). Hardiness is a broader concept including commitment, control, and challenge, but self - esteem directly addresses the client's sense of self in this context. Resistance is a more general term not as specifically related to the client's described feelings as self - esteem.

Answer:

Self - esteem
