Having someone physically present during times of illness removes the sense of aloneness during the illness
Indicate whether the statement is true or false
F
The sense of "aloneness" or isolation reported by seriously ill clients is related in part to their actual physical separation from loved ones during treatments, hospitalizations, or clinic visits. But it also stems from their feeling that there is no one who is really "in their world." Having someone physically present does not necessarily remove the sense of aloneness a seriously ill client is experiencing. The statement is false.
