Cevap
The nurse should coordinate with a speech-language pathologist, arrange for a respiratory therapist, and consult a social worker.
A client with a total laryngectomy requires a speech-language pathologist to learn alternative communication methods. The permanent tracheostomy requires specialized airway care education, making a respiratory therapist essential. Because the client expresses anxiety and needs home medical supplies, a social worker is crucial for coordinating resources and providing psychosocial support.
