The Family of an 80-Year-Old Client Shares with the Nurse

The family of an 80-year-old client shares with the nurse that they are concerned that "Dad is too frail to be living alone." The nurse's initial intervention is to:

A) help the client express the importance of living independently to the family members.
B) assess the client's functional abilities related to being able to safely live independently.
C) have the family provide specific examples of behaviors that cause them to doubt the client's ability to live independently.
D) identify ways the family can help assure the client's safety while living independently.
