Question

A client who has just experienced her second spontaneous abortion expresses anger toward the practitioner, the hospital, and the "rotten nursing care." when assessing the situation, the nurse concludes that the client may be using the coping mechanism of:

Answer 1

Displacement , patient displacing feelings of anger towards health care team

Answer 2

Displacement

Step-by-step explanation:

This defense mechanism is the displacement of an energetic impulse that would initially address one person or situation, another target - neutral or less dangerous - and more socially accepted. In other words, dislocation is a defense mechanism in which a person throws all his frustration and anger at someone else, because at that moment the angry person feels that someone must take responsibility for their degree of stress. An example of this is the case of the client, exposed in the question, she has no control and cannot resolve the reasons why she has miscarriages, but she believes the medical staff could solve this, so she blames them.
