A client reports successfully following a prescribed low-salt diet for one week. Which response best uses positive reinforcement?
Correct answer: B. Praise the specific effort and encourage continuation
- A. Tell the client that failure will cause complications
- B. Praise the specific effort and encourage continuation
- C. Advise the client not to discuss the change with family
- D. Ignore the report because one week is too short
Explanation
Specific praise reinforces the desired behavior and encourages the client to continue it. Threats, ignoring progress, or discouraging social support are less effective and may reduce motivation.
