A female client who is undergoing therapy for depression is divorced and has two children, ages 2 and 4
She has just enrolled in a local community college and is worried about providing food and clothes for her family while holding down a minimum wage job and also devoting the time needed to be successful in school. The nurse determines that the best community resource for assisting this client to meet these needs is: a. A shelter for victims of domestic violence
b. Women, Infants, and Children (WIC)
c. Family-planning agency
d. Family recreation center
B
WIC gives assistance to low-income women and children up to the age of 5 who are at nutritional risk by providing foods to supplement the diet and information on healthy eating habits. The other options do not address her situation because she has not voiced needs related to domestic violence or family planning, and a family recreation center will not meet her financial needs.
