Which of the following interventions would be beneficial for a client who is demonstrating stress ...

1. Asking the client if there is anyone that would be able to help with the family needs at home while she is recuperating

Rationale:
The best way that the nurse can help the client who is stressed with a new illness and family responsibilities is to ask if there is anyone who can help the client at home. Transferring the client to a long-term care facility will not help the client with the stress of caring for a family at home. Sending the children to a grandparent's home might not work if the children are in school and the grandparent lives far away. Asking the client if there is anything that she needs once she returns home is not enough. The nurse needs to do something else.
