Question 1

Type: MCSA

Which statement, made by the client, would indicate a “me-centered” self-concept?

1. “I couldn’t stand to disappoint my parents.”
2. “My sister is so much smarter than I am.”
3. “My future is based on the decisions I make today.”
4. “The world has always been against people like me.”

Correct Answer: 3

Rationale 1: This statement reflects a high need for approval of others, which is not me-centered.

Rationale 2: This statement reflects a comparison with others.

Rationale 3: Individuals with a positive self-concept are me-centered and value how they perceive themselves over the opinions of others and have learned to depend on themselves. This is reflected in the statement, “My future is based on the decisions I make today.”

Rationale 4: Other-centered persons compare themselves with others and often believe the world is against them. This outward focus results in a poorer self-concept.

Rationale 2: There is no evidence that nurses with poor self-concept burn out earlier than nurses with good self-concept.

Rationale 3: Nurses who have positive self-concept are better prepared to assist clients with their own understanding of needs, desires, feelings, and conflicts.

Question 3

Type: MCSA

The newly graduated nurse is working with a mentor who has been a nurse for 25 years. The mentor tells the new graduate, “I learn something new about nursing every day.” What does this indicate about the mentor’s self-awareness?

1. This nurse is not very self-aware.
2. The mentor’s self-awareness is behind normal development.
3. Because this mentor has been a nurse for so long, self-awareness is no longer an important issue.
4. Because self-awareness is never complete, this nurse is demonstrating desirable behavior.

Correct Answer: 4

Rationale 1: The mentor’s comment about “learning something new about nursing everyday” demonstrates self-awareness.

Rationale 2: Although this mentor has been a nurse for 25 years, there is still room for growth and development of self-awareness.

Rationale 3: Although this mentor has been a nurse for 25 years, there is still room for growth and development of self-awareness.

Rationale 4: Self-awareness takes time and energy and is never completed. This nurse is demonstrating desirable behavior in that there is still intellectual humility and a desire to learn.
