    A community health nurse is visiting an older adult client who recently moved into an assisted living apartment. Which of the following client statements indicates difficulty accepting their transition?

    Explanation & Rationale

    A. "The food is not great, but it is nice not having to do all of my own cooking." This statement shows acceptance by acknowledging both the challenges and benefits of the transition. B. "When I go out, I've been using public transportation since I can't drive anymore." This reflects adaptation to the changes by finding alternative transportation. C. "I don't want to go to the activity room because none of the other residents can hear." This suggests social withdrawal and frustration, which may indicate difficulty accepting the transition to assisted living. D. "The staff sometimes have to remind me to use a cane when I walk in the hall." This shows acceptance of help from staff, which suggests an adjustment to the new environment rather than resistance.
