9. Which is the best nursing intervention to support a client's self-esteem needs? 1) Encourage the client to make choices. 2) Place an identification band on the client's wrist. 3) Give a compliment about the client's appearance 4) Answer the client's call light as quickly as possible.

Answer 1

1) Encourage the client to make choices. This is the best nursing intervention to support a client's self-esteem needs. Encouraging the client to make choices promotes autonomy and a sense of control, which can boost self-esteem. Placing an identification band on the client's wrist, giving a compliment about the client's appearance, and answering the client's call light quickly are important aspects of nursing care but may not directly focus on supporting the client's self-esteem needs.
