A 36-year-old female who was divorced 5 years earlier
enters the emergency department with severe burns and
cuts on her face after an auto accident in a car driven by
her fiancé of 3 months. Three weeks later, her fiancé has
not yet contacted her. The patient states that he is very busy
and she is too tired to have visitors anyway. The patient
frequently lies with her eyes closed and head turned away.
These data suggest that:
a. There is no disturbance in self-concept.
b. This patient has ego strength and high self-esteem but may
have a disturbance of body image.
c. The area of self-esteem has very low priority at this time
and should be ignored until much later.
d. It is probable that there are disturbances in self-esteem and
body image.
