The nurse is planning care for a group of clients. Which client should the nurse identify as needing the most assistance in accepting being ill?
Correct answer
D
Rationale
The 60-year-old woman needs the most assistance, as her refusal to use oxygen despite confusion indicates denial of her illness's severity, posing a significant risk. The boy's reactions are age-appropriate, the woman is engaging with treatment, and the man is planning recovery.
