Simulated
An adolescent with a congenital heart defect is admitted for diagnostic testing with surgery scheduled in 3 days. Which intervention should the nurse implement to best support the client's psychosocial needs?
Correct answer
B
Rationale
Providing an activity room allows the adolescent to interact with peers, reducing anxiety and isolation, and supports psychosocial well-being. Other options do not address emotional and social needs as effectively.
