Feedback:
The nurse should inform the client that independence does not necessarily mean living alone. It means retaining control over major aspects of life. The three key elements of maintaining independence are health, financial stability, and social resources. Maintaining mental stability comes under psychosocial considerations, not maintaining independence. Volunteerism activities are unlikely to provide the client with a sense of independence.
