NCLEX RN Practice Question

You are caring for a 45-year-old client who has recently undergone a below-knee amputation following a traumatic accident. During the initial assessment, the client states, 'My spouse works late every day, and I don’t want my sister to help me because I don’t want to feel like a burden.' Which action should the nurse take next to assess the client’s support system effectively?

  • Ask the client to identify anyone else they feel comfortable involving in their care, such as other family members, friends, or neighbors.

  • Contact the family to gather their input on how they can assist the client with their recovery.

  • Schedule a counseling session for the client with the hospital’s social worker to arrange additional outside support services.

  • Suggest the client accept their sister’s help as the primary caregiver to receive support.
