The son of an elderly client who has cognitive impairments approaches the nurse and says, “I'm so upset. The primary health care provider says I have 4 days to decide on where my dad is going to live.” The nurse responds to the son's concerns, gives him a list of types of living arrangements, and discusses the needs, abilities, and limitations of the client. The nurse should intervene further if the son makes which comment?
1. “Boy, I have a lot to think about before I see the social worker tomorrow.”
2. “I think I can handle most of Dad's needs with the help of some home health care.”
3. “I'm so afraid of making the wrong decision, but I can move him later if I need to.”
4. “I want the social worker to make this decision so Dad won't blame me.”
