NCP Disturbed Body Image

The client, a widowed woman who had a facelift 25 years ago, is considering another facelift at age 55 to look young again. The nurse's short term goal is for the client to recognize and incorporate her body image change into an accurate self-concept without negatively impacting her self-esteem. The long term goal is for the client to accept and adapt to her actual body image after 3 weeks of nursing intervention. The nurse will evaluate the client's knowledge, observe for emotional changes, and encourage the expression of feelings to enhance coping strategies.
