The practical nurse (PN) and unlicensed assistive personnel (UAP) are providing care for a client who exhibits signs of neglect syndrome following a stroke affecting the right hemisphere. Which action should the PN implement?

A. Protecting the client's left side during transfers is not directly related to addressing neglect syndrome. Clients with right hemisphere strokes may neglect the left side, but the UAP should be guided to approach from the left to help manage the neglect. B. Demonstrating to the UAP how to approach the client from the left side helps manage the effects of neglect syndrome. Clients with right hemisphere strokes may not be aware of or may ignore the left side, so approaching from this side can improve the client’s awareness and safety. C. Observing interactions between the client and family members might provide insights into the client’s condition but is not a direct intervention for managing neglect syndrome. The focus should be on practical strategies to help the client with neglect. D. Asking the UAP to leave the room and assessing the client for bruising does not address the immediate needs of managing neglect syndrome. The priority is to ensure the client is safely engaged and managed, rather than performing a solitary assessment.
