Encouraging family to visit and help in the care of the client can meet the client's love and belonging needs by promoting social interactions and emotional support from loved ones, while still ensuring infection control measures are in place. Respecting the patient's values and beliefs and focusing on the client's strengths may also be important for meeting psychosocial needs, but they may not directly address the need for social connection and emotional support that family visitation can provide. Using hand hygiene and sterile technique is important for infection control but does not directly address the client's love and belonging needs.
