Cevap

The correct actions are to assess the client's current family dynamics and available social network, provide contact information for a local multiple sclerosis support group, and facilitate a referral to a medical social worker.
Appropriate interventions to strengthen a client's support systems include assessing their current baseline resources (family and friends), connecting them with peers experiencing similar challenges (support groups), and utilizing the interdisciplinary team (medical social workers) for comprehensive community navigation.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Analyze the client's statement
The client expresses feelings of isolation ('alone') and distress ('overwhelmed') related to a new chronic illness diagnosis.
Understanding the core problem is necessary to select appropriate supportive interventions.
2
Evaluate each option against therapeutic communication and nursing scope of practice
Options involving assessment, support groups, and social worker referrals align with therapeutic practice. Options involving UAP delegation, false reassurance, and encouraging isolation do not.
Nursing interventions must be therapeutic, within the RN scope, and directly address the client's expressed need for support.
3
Select all correct therapeutic actions
Identify assessing social networks, providing support group information, and referring to a social worker as the appropriate actions.
These actions actively build and reinforce the client's psychosocial support systems.
