NCLEX RN Practice Question

The correct answer is to explore the client’s feelings and discuss ways to adapt to the vision changes while finding meaningful activities. By focusing on the emotional impact of the client's situation and identifying ways to cope constructively, the nurse addresses both the client’s psychosocial needs and sense of purpose. Encouraging the client to adapt to the changes fosters resilience and minimizes feelings of helplessness. Reassuring the client without offering solutions does not fully acknowledge their emotional distress. Referring them to a therapist may be premature without first conducting a thorough assessment of their current coping mechanisms. Emphasizing their independence without addressing their emotional concerns may unintentionally dismiss the impact of their vision loss.
