    A nurse is caring for a 70-year-old client with depression in an extended care facility. During assessment, the client tells the nurse that their vision is poor, making activities difficult, and that other nurses leave them to complete tasks alone. The nurse should document the client's statements about vision and independence. Further assessments of vision, functional ability, and social support systems should be made. Modifications like assistance with tasks or using larger print may help address the client's needs and depression.

    Case Study

    Chapter 2: Collecting Subjective Data

    KEY: I: Interviewing Objectives


    T: Taking the Health History Objectives

    A nurse is caring for a 70-year-old client with depression in an extended care facility.
    During assessment, the client tells the nurse, “You must know that I cannot see very well
    now. I find it very difficult to complete important activities. Most nurses just leave me to
    do things by myself.” (Learning Objectives: 5, 8, and 14)

    a. What subjective data could be documented by the nurse?

    b. What further assessments should the nurse make?

    c. What modifications must be made to help the client?
