The population health nurse is working with a client who is recovering from a debilitating stroke. The nurse is encouraging the client to continue to feed himself and to continue taking care of his toileting needs
What is the most important reason that the nurse is encouraging the client?
1. Because it was a physician's order.
2. To promote a positive self-image.
3. To prevent joint involvement.
4. To prevent depression.
Answer: 2
Explanation: 2. A chronic disease may make a client more dependent on others and less able to engage in activities of daily living. Being able to engage in those activities promotes a positive self-image. Dependence is often demeaning to one who has been self-reliant. The physician would not have to write an order to encourage the client to feed himself and to continue taking care of his toileting needs. Even if there was a physician's order the most important reason that the client needs to continue feeding himself and to continue taking care of toileting needs is because it will promote self-image. Even though assisting with feeding and toileting needs would encourage the use of some joints the best answer is participating in these activities will promote positive self-image. Participating in these activities will not prevent depression.
