A nurse is caring for a client who reports they are feeling stressed because they are unable to meet demands at work and care for a family member who is ill. The nurse should identify that the client is experiencing which of the following self-concept stressors?
Correct answer
C
Rationale
The correct answer is C: Role performance. This is because the client is feeling stressed due to the conflicting demands of work and caregiving, which pertains to their role in performing their responsibilities effectively. Body image (A) is related to physical appearance, self-esteem (B) is about self-worth, and identity (D) refers to a sense of self. These stressors are not directly linked to the client's current situation. The other choices (E, F, G) are not relevant to the scenario provided. In summary, role performance stressors specifically align with the client's situation of balancing work and caregiving responsibilities.
