NCLEX RN Practice Question

The correct answer is a referral to a social worker. Social workers are trained to identify barriers to effective healthcare management and provide resources such as medication assistance programs, education about managing chronic conditions, and connections to community resources. Both the dietitian and cardiovascular rehabilitation might support the client’s care, but they focus on dietary management and physical activity rather than addressing the foundational barriers or support systems needed for successful health management. A neurologist would be relevant for neurological conditions but is not applicable here.
