A home health nurse is visiting a client who has right-sided weakness following a recent stroke. The client states, "I'm not sure how I will buy my groceries since I can't go back to work." Which of the following actions should the nurse take?

The correct answer is Choice D because "Explore possible solutions with the partner." When a hospice nurse is concerned that the partner of a client is experiencing caregiver burden, the first step is to explore possible solutions with the partner. This involves assessing the partner's needs, concerns, and limitations, and working collaboratively to develop a plan of care that meets the needs of both the client and the partner. This may involve arranging for additional support, such as respite care or home health services, or modifying the care plan to make it more manageable for the partner.

Choice A is wrong because Suggesting assistive personnel visits daily to provide client care (Choice A is wrong because) may provide additional support, but it does not address the partner's caregiver burden.

Choice B is wrong because Teaching the partner about getting enough rest (Choice B is wrong because) may be helpful, but it does not address the underlying caregiver burden and may be perceived as dismissive of the partner's concerns.

Choice C is wrong because Encouraging the partner to invite family members to assist with client care (Choice C is wrong because) may provide additional support, but it assumes that the partner has family members who are available and willing to assist and does not address the underlying caregiver burden.

The correct answer is Choice C because, "Immunizing the clients against influenza." Older adults are at higher risk of developing serious complications from the flu, including pneumonia, and are more likely to be hospitalized due to the flu.

Immunizing the clients against influenza is an important health promotion strategy to reduce this risk.

Choice A is wrong because, "Scheduling annual dental examinations for the clients," is not the correct answer because although oral health is important, it is not the priority health promotion strategy for older adults.

Choice B is wrong because, "Encouraging the clients to exercise regularly," is not the correct answer because although exercise is important for older adults, it is not the priority health promotion strategy for older adults living in an assisted living facility.

Choice D is wrong because, "Providing the clients with a low-fat diet," is not the correct answer because although a healthy diet is important, it is not the priority health promotion strategy for older adults living in an assisted living facility.
