After several home visits, the nurse and the client have agreed to improve the client's overall nutritional status. In order to achieve this outcome, the nurse should:
1. Assess the client's food preferences and methods of food preparation.
2. Plan menus for the client to prepare.
3. Accompany the client when food shopping.
4. Refer the client to a Meals-on-Wheels program.
Answer: 1
Explanation: 1. In implementing a home visit, goals are agreed upon for the overall health of the client. In this instance, the improvement of the client's overall nutritional status cannot be achieved unless the nurse assesses the client's food preferences and methods of food preparation. Otherwise, if the nurse plans meals without these considerations, the outcome will not be achieved. Accompanying the client when food shopping will not necessarily guarantee this outcome, nor will a referral to a Meals-on-Wheels program.
