Psychosocial Changes ( 5 Questions)
A nurse is planning interventions for an older adult client who is preparing for retirement.
Which of the following interventions should the nurse include?
(Select all that apply.).
These interventions are consistent with the recommendations for retirement planning for older adults, which include setting realistic goals, seeking alternative income sources if needed, and maintaining a balanced schedule of activities that provide stimulation, satisfaction and purpose.
This is wrong because it suggests the client to reduce social contacts and focus on personal interests. This is not a healthy intervention for older adults, as social isolation can lead to depression, cognitive decline, and poor quality of life. Older adults should be encouraged to join social groups or clubs that share common interests or values, as this can enhance their well-being and sense of belonging.

The correct answer is A, C, and D.

Choice B is wrong because it suggests the client to reduce social contacts and focus on personal interests. This is not a healthy intervention for older adults, as social isolation can lead to depression, cognitive decline, and poor quality of life. Older adults should be encouraged to join social groups or clubs that share common interests or values, as this can enhance their well-being and sense of belonging.
Choice E is wrong because it recommends the client to join social groups or clubs that share common interests or values.
While this is a good suggestion for older adults in general, it is not specific to retirement planning. Retirement planning involves preparing for the financial, emotional, and physical aspects of leaving work and transitioning to a new phase of life.
Joining social groups or clubs may be part of the retirement plan, but it is not an intervention that the nurse should include in the planning process.
