A nurse is assessing an older adult client. Which of the following statements indicates that the client is at a risk for being socially isolated?
Correct answer
C
Rationale
The correct answer is C. The statement indicates a risk for social isolation because the client is unable to attend church due to a lost hearing aid. This can lead to reduced social interactions and feelings of loneliness. Choice A does not necessarily indicate social isolation, just potential hearing loss. Choice B still involves some social interaction. Choice D shows some social support.
