Explanation:

1. "Encourage the client to identify past and current accomplishments": Identifying accomplishments helps the client recognize their strengths and positive aspects, boosting self - concept.
2. "Encourage the client to verbalize perceptions that indicate a healthy self - esteem": Verbalizing positive self - perceptions reinforces a positive self - concept as it makes the client more aware of their healthy self - view.
3. "Assist the client to identify healthy coping strategies and support systems": Coping strategies and support systems help the client deal with the stress of divorce, and feeling capable of coping and having support can enhance self - concept.
4. "Collaborate with the client, family, and members of the health care team to ensure successful implementation of the plan of care": Collaboration ensures that the care plan is tailored to the client's needs, and successful implementation can lead to improved well - being and self - concept.
5. "Contact delivery services to provide the client with in - home meals": This is more about meeting a basic need (nutrition) and does not directly relate to promoting self - concept.
