Practice Question
A nurse is preparing to discharge a client who had a cerebrovascular accident and has left-sided weakness. The client is having difficulty completing ADLs. Which of the following is the priority action by the nurse?
Answer Choices:
Correct Answer:
Recommend occupational therapy referral for the client.
Rationale:
🔵 The priority action for a client who has had a cerebrovascular accident (CVA) with left-sided weakness and difficulty completing ADLs is to ensure they receive occupational therapy (OT) services.
🔵 OT focuses on helping clients regain independence in activities of daily living such as dressing, bathing, and eating, which are essential for a safe discharge and recovery.
🔵 Addressing functional limitations is critical to reduce fall risk, improve safety, and promote quality of life at home.
🔵 While medication education, community resources, and nutritional guidance are important, they are not as urgent as restoring physical function to support independence.
