Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The best plan of the nurse will include discussing the client's feelings about the effects of her hair loss. This will help the nurse understand the client's emotional state and provide appropriate support and resources to help her cope with the hair loss. The nurse can also provide information about hair loss, such as how long it usually takes for hair to grow back and options for wigs and other head coverings. However, it is important to listen to the client's specific concerns and address them in a supportive and empathetic manner. Showing photos or having a cancer survivor visit may not necessarily address the client's individual needs and concerns.
