A nurse is a member of a local support group that counsels on relationships. Which client should the nurse identify with the lowest priority to be concerned about meaningful relationships?
A) A person who volunteers in the community
B) A homeless person
C) A person with a fractured limb
D) A working professional
B
Feedback:
The nurse should identify the homeless client as the one with little emotional energy left to worry about meaningful relationships. This is because the homeless spend most of their energy trying to cope with daily life. A client who volunteers in the community or is a working professional does not have a deficiency of emotional energy and can focus on meaningful relationships. A person with a fractured limb may have emotional energy, but needs to focus on achieving self-esteem rather than on meaningful relationships.
