Question 1 of 5
The partner of an older adult client who has Alzheimer’s disease reports that he is not eating. The partner refuses to assist with feeding. Which of the following 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. The priority action is to assess the client's capacity to feed themselves independently. This is crucial in identifying any issues or barriers the client may be facing in terms of feeding. By determining the client's ability to self-feed, the nurse can develop an appropriate plan of care tailored to the client's specific needs.
Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because they do not address the immediate concern of evaluating the client's ability to feed themselves. While arranging for Meals on Wheels or directing the home health aide to assist with meals may be helpful interventions, they do not address the root cause of the issue. Referring the client's partner to an Alzheimer's support group may be beneficial in the long term but does not address the immediate need to assess the client's ability to self-feed.
