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 the individual's basic self - description. "How would you describe yourself to others?" directly taps into the core of self - concept as it asks for the person's own perception of their identity. The other questions are more specific (e.g., "Do you like yourself?" focuses on self - esteem which is a part of self - concept but not the first - step assessment; "What are some of your personal strengths?" is about self - evaluation within self - concept; "What do you see yourself doing 5 years from now?" is more about future orientation related to self - concept but not the immediate, foundational self - concept assessment).

Answer:

How would you describe yourself to others?
