Introducing the client to social media to stay in contact with friends would be an appropriate intervention to address the client's feelings of depression and isolation. This would allow the client to maintain social connections and engage with friends despite her inability to physically go out and participate in activities. The other options require the client to leave the house, which may not be possible due to her restricted driving status.
