A nurse is assessing a client recently diagnosed with a chronic illness. The client reports working long hours at multiple jobs and feels worried about managing their health while supporting their family. What is the nurse's priority intervention to address the client's concerns?
Teach the client relaxation techniques to manage stress from their work and family responsibilities.
Collaborate with a social worker to help the client find resources for managing occupational and health challenges.
Provide coaching on lifestyle changes to help the client balance their family and work commitments.
Encourage the client to reduce their work hours to focus more on their health.
The correct answer focuses on involving a social worker to provide support and identify resources that can help the client manage their health while dealing with occupational and financial stressors. This approach is aligned with holistic care principles, ensuring the client has access to the support needed to balance work, family, and health responsibilities.
Other options might seem appropriate but do not directly address the root issue. For instance, offering relaxation techniques or lifestyle coaching could benefit the client long term but do not immediately help address the stress caused by their specific situation. Similarly, suggesting that the client reduce work commitments might not be realistic without a concrete plan or resources in place to support such a change.
