Question 1 of 5
The partner of an older adult client who has Alzheimer's disease reports that he is not eating. The client's partner refuses to assist the client with feeding and insists the client feed himself without help. What is the priority action the nurse should take?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Determine the client's ability to self-feed. This is the priority action because it addresses the immediate concern of the client not eating due to the partner's refusal to assist. By assessing the client's ability to self-feed, the nurse can identify any barriers or challenges the client may be facing, such as physical limitations or cognitive impairments. This assessment will guide the nurse in developing an appropriate plan of care to ensure the client's nutritional needs are met.
The other choices are incorrect because they do not directly address the client's current situation.
A: Meals on Wheels assistance may be helpful but does not address the immediate need for the client to eat.
C: Directing the home health aide to assist assumes the client is willing to accept help, which may not be the case.
D: Referring the client's partner to an Alzheimer's support group is important for long-term support but does not address the immediate issue of the client not eating.
