A nurse is reinforcing discharge teaching with a client who states. "I don't feel confident driving to my follow-up appointments." The nurse should obtain a referral for which of the following members of the health care team?

A. Social worker: Social workers can assist clients who have difficulty with transportation by coordinating community resources, arranging rides, or providing access to transportation services. This ensures the client can safely attend follow-up appointments without compromising independence or safety. B. Primary care provider: The primary care provider manages overall health and follow-up care but does not typically coordinate transportation services for clients. C. Physical therapist: Physical therapists focus on improving mobility, strength, and balance, which may indirectly support functional independence, but they do not coordinate transportation. D. Occupational therapist: Occupational therapists help clients maintain or regain functional skills for daily activities, including driving skills, but arranging transportation to appointments falls under social work support rather than therapy interventions.
