A nurse is planning care for a client recently diagnosed with a chronic illness. Which action by the nurse best assesses the client’s support system?
Ask the client which individuals they feel supported by.
Observe how frequently the client receives visitors during hospital stays.
Document the client’s living arrangements and family relationships.
Discuss with the client any long-term plans and commitments.
The correct answer is identifying who the client feels supported by because understanding the client's perception of their support system is crucial in determining who is actively involved in providing encouragement and assistance. Simply observing visitors or asking about family relations does not provide adequate insight into the perceived emotional and practical support available. Discussing future commitments provides information but does not assess the current state of the support system.
