Psychosocial Integrity II

A client who is quadriplegic frequently makes lewd sexual suggestions and uses profanity. The nurse concludes that the client is inappropriately using displacement. Which concern should the nurse identify as being appropriate for this client?

ExplanationLack of coping skills is evident when the client demonstrates an impaired ability to adapt to meeting life’s demands and roles. This client is displacing feelings onto the environment instead of using them in a constructive fashion. Option 3 may be appropriate, but it has nothing to do with the displacement that the client is currently using. Options 1 and 4 have no relation to this situation.
