Explanation:
All of the strategies listed are included in home care for the client with Cushing’s syndrome. Choice 3 is the best answer because wearing a medical ID is a visible sign that something is wrong and a constant reminder to the client that he or she has a loss of body function. Choice 1 might enhance body image because it prevents falls that could cause further injury and debilitation. Taking medications as prescribed should enhance body image because it decreases the symptoms present. Having regular health assessments indicates an enhanced body image because it signals the desire to take care of the body and keep it at its best.Health Promotion and Maintenance
