A nurse is caring for a client who has experienced a stroke and is moving in with their adult child. Which of the following actions should the nurse encourage the client and family to take as they adjust to their new roles?

A. Implementing firm but flexible boundaries is important to establish a healthy relationship between the client and their adult child. Clear boundaries help both parties adjust to their new roles and responsibilities while maintaining respect and understanding. B. Minimizing discussion regarding changes may prevent necessary communication and emotional processing, potentially leading to further strain in the relationship. C. Decreasing socialization with extended relatives is not necessary and could lead to isolation, which is detrimental to both the client’s and family’s adjustment process. D. Encouraging authoritative communication may foster an imbalance in the relationship. It is better to encourage open communication and mutual respect.
