After 2 days on a psychiatric unit, a client is still isolating himself in his room, except for meals. The client says he is uncomfortable around crowds of people. Which nursing intervention is the most appropriate initially?
Correct answer
C
Rationale
A walk with the nurse and one other client provides a low-pressure social interaction, helping the client gradually build comfort with others while respecting his anxiety about crowds.
