Feedback:
The nurse should ensure that the activities taken up by older client should bring joy and happiness. Some examples of the retirement activities that the nurse could encourage are consulting, traveling, and spending time with family members; and volunteerism and educational opportunities. Spending time at retirement daycare homes does not encourage independence.
