A 62-year-old client recovering from a stroke expresses feelings of frustration and isolation due to their limited mobility. When assessing the client’s available support system, which action should the nurse prioritize?
Ask the client how they feel about the level of support they currently have.
Observe how family members interact during a visit to assess dynamics.
Determine which family members or friends are actively involved in the client’s care.
Refer the client to community support groups and resources.
Identifying individuals within the client's social network (e.g., family or friends) who actively participate in their care helps provide a clearer picture of the support system's strength. This information is crucial for developing a comprehensive care plan that includes practical and emotional assistance. Referring to community resources, while valuable, should be considered after understanding the existing support network. Simply asking how the client feels does not provide sufficient detail about their actual support system. Observing family dynamics is important but does not directly assess which individuals are actively capable of providing support.
