When developing appropriate short-term goals with clients who are inpatients, which of the following is most realistic?
Correct answer
C
Rationale
Writing a list of strengths and needs is a realistic, achievable short-term goal for an inpatient, promoting self-awareness and planning. Demonstrating a positive self-image is too broad, planning for school is long-term, and practicing assertiveness in a specific confrontation may be too complex for short-term inpatient care.
