Question 1 of 5

The nurse assesses that a hospitalized 20-year-old college student is anxious and not able to concentrate when given self-care instructions. Which intervention should the nurse implement to assist the client to deal with the stress of hospitalization?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale:
To enhance coping, the nurse should focus on the developmental needs of a young adult, which include interaction with peers.
