Question

A client with chronic respiratory problems tells the nurse, I haven't felt this good in a long time. The nurse realizes that the statement most reflects the client's:

1. Willingness to share his feelings
2. Acceptance of his physical limitations
3. Personal definition of his individual health
4. Acknowledgment of his chronic health problems

Answer 1

The client's statement reflects their personal definition of individual health.

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct answer is 3. Personal definition of his individual health.

This statement reflects the client's personal perception of his own health. It suggests that the client is feeling relatively better compared to how he has been feeling for a while. This reflects his own definition of what feeling good means to him in the context of his chronic respiratory problems.

It is important to note that this statement does not necessarily indicate acceptance of physical limitations or acknowledgment of chronic health problems. While those factors may influence the client's overall health, the statement primarily reflects his personal perception.
