A nurse is planning discharge for a client who had a lung resection. The nurse initiates a referral for a social worker. Which of the following assessment data supports this referral?
Correct answer
C
Rationale
The correct answer is C. The client needing to arrange financial resources to purchase equipment supports the referral for a social worker as they can help navigate financial resources and support services. Social workers assist in accessing community resources for financial assistance, which is essential post-surgery. Choice A is incorrect as it pertains to personal care, not financial resources. Choice B is incorrect as it focuses on the need for oxygen tanks, not financial assistance. Choice D is incorrect as it refers to physical therapy needs, not financial support.
