Feedback:
The client's feelings and perceptions about his or her situation are the most influential factors in
determining his or her response to therapeutic interventions, rather than what the nurse believes the
client should do. The nurse must examine his or her beliefs about the theories of psychosocial
development and realize that many treatment approaches are available. Different treatments may
work for different clients: no one approach works for everyone.
