Answer:

Promotion of self-care (counseling).

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 7 main types of recognized nursing interventions. In this example, it is the priority of the nurse to aid the patient and right now, he is feeling anger and sadness due to his current predicament. The intervention should be to counsel him on self-care. He/she should encourage the young adult client and tell him that he does not need to do anything for his family. He has taken care of them, and now, it is time for them to take care of him. The nurse needs to intervene and make him realize, he just needs to enjoy the time he has with his family.
