NCLEX PN Practice Questions Practice Question
A behavior modification program is planned for an adolescent who exhibits disruptive behavior. Which action by the nurse is most consistent with a behavior modification program?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Option B aligns with behavior modification principles by reinforcing positive behavior through rewards. Providing extra privileges for a day of non-disruptive behavior encourages the adolescent to repeat that behavior.
Option A is ineffective as punishment can lead to resentment and does not teach alternative behaviors. Option C, while helpful for guidance, lacks the reinforcement aspect crucial for behavior modification. Option D involves the client in a discussion but does not provide immediate positive reinforcement, which is essential for effective behavior change.
