A home health nurse is caring for a group of older adult clients. Which of the following statements by a client is an indication they may be experiencing social isolation?
Correct answer
D
Rationale
The correct answer is D because the client's statement indicates social isolation due to limited social interactions and participation in activities outside the home. This can lead to feelings of loneliness and disconnection. Choices A, B, and C all demonstrate some level of social engagement and interaction, which are important for combating social isolation. Choice A shows the client still engaging in physical activity, choice B involves spending time with family, and choice C involves hosting friends. Thus, these choices do not indicate social isolation as strongly as choice D.
