Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The nurse should consider that there is no one to help with care needs at home when planning care for a middle-aged client who lives alone. This may require additional support from healthcare providers or community resources to ensure the client's needs are met. A transfer to a skilled facility is not necessarily required and would depend on the client's individual needs and preferences. The client's finances and health insurance coverage may also be important considerations, but they do not directly address the issue of living alone and needing care.
