Simulated
A nurse is planning discharge for a client who has schizophrenia and reports 'I don't have a place to live.' Which of the following referrals should the nurse request from the provider?
Correct answer
C
Rationale
The correct answer is C: Take aspirin for headaches. The nurse should request this referral to address the client's reported headache. It is essential to address the client's physical health needs to promote overall well-being. Referring to a spiritual advisor (A) is not appropriate for addressing the immediate health concern. Expecting swelling in hands and feet (B) is unrelated. Eating foods high in potassium (D) is important for overall health but not urgent in this situation.
