NCLEX RN Practice Question

The correct answer is consulting the nutritionist to help the client receive tailored dietary recommendations and support recovery. Collaborating with other healthcare professionals is key in addressing client concerns that fall outside the direct scope of nursing practice. The physical therapist focuses on mobility, so while they are involved in care, they are not equipped to address nutritional concerns. Informing the primary healthcare provider may be necessary later if further dietary interventions are required, but involving the nutritionist upfront ensures the client’s immediate needs are addressed effectively. Reporting the client’s concern without action does not resolve the issue and reflects poor collaboration.
