    A female client reports feeling hopeless and is unable to stop crying. She explains that she is worried about losing her job. Since the client's husband recently lost his job, she feels her employment is essential to the family's survival. To evaluate the effectiveness of cognitive-behavioral techniques, which client outcome should the nurse include in the plan of care?

    Explanation & Rationale

    A) This outcome focuses on the cognitive aspect of cognitive-behavioral techniques, targeting the client's negative thought patterns and helping her develop more effective problem-solving skills. B) While family problem-solving may be important, the primary concern in this scenario is the client's individual ability to cope with her own distress. C) While gaining insight into relationships may be beneficial, it may not directly address the client's immediate distress or the effectiveness of cognitive-behavioral techniques. D) Demonstrating a healthy relationship with her husband is a broader outcome that may take time to achieve and may not directly relate to the client's current distress and treatment goals.
