Cevap

The most appropriate action is to provide adaptive utensils and encourage the client to feed themselves at their own pace.
Providing adaptive equipment and allowing the client sufficient time to complete tasks are key interventions that foster independence, preserve dignity, and prevent functional decline in older adults. This action safely reinforces self-care and remains strictly within the PN scope of practice.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Identify the primary goal of the intervention.
The goal is to promote the client's independence in self-care and ADLs.
Encouraging independence maintains the client's functional ability, dignity, and self-esteem.
2
Evaluate which option safely supports this goal within the PN scope of practice.
Using adaptive utensils and allowing adequate time directly supports independent feeding.
This aligns with the PN's role in reinforcing self-care, utilizing assistive devices, and accommodating physical limitations.
