It means like your senses are being deprived I'm horrible at explaining things ill try to do my best like as in someone is blindfolded or having ear plugs in things like that but since its an nclex question I know the answer won't be as straight forward as that so what are the answer choices? - Nov 16, '12 by NursingBro1. Find out about the client's hobbies.
2. Identify significant support system.
3. Ask about the availability of a radio for the client's room.
4. Assess if the client supports the family financially. - Nov 16, '12 by CYoungLPNQuote from NursingBroIs it 3? Idk it was between 1 2 & 3 for me then between just 1 & 3 I pick 3 & what is the rationale?1. Find out about the client's hobbies.
