Explanation:

• Encourage the client to identify past and current accomplishments: Reflecting on achievements boosts self - concept by highlighting personal strengths and successes.
• Contact delivery services to provide the client with in - home meals: This is more about meeting basic nutritional needs or addressing functional limitations rather than promoting self - concept.
• Encourage the client to verbalize perceptions that indicate a healthy self - esteem: Verbalizing positive self - perceptions helps reinforce a healthy self - concept as it makes the client more aware of their positive self - view.
• 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 a better ability to cope can positively impact self - concept.
• Collaborate with the client, family, and members of the health care team to ensure successful implementation of the plan of care: A collaborative approach ensures that the care plan (which includes promoting self - concept) is effectively carried out, and involving the client and others empowers the client and supports their self - concept.
