Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The client's lack of telephone calls or visitors may indicate a lack of social support network, which can be an important factor in the client's successful recovery. Assessment of the client's social support network is important to identify potential sources of support and develop a plan for maintaining or increasing social connections. The other options, such as sensory overload, mental status, and environment, may also be assessed, but are not as directly related to the client's lack of visitors.
