The gathering of information regarding a patient's and its associated individual's psychological, physiological, spiritual, and sociological status by a licensed Registered Nurse is known as nursing assessment. It is the initial step in the process of nursing.
In the given case, the nurse should initiate a recommendation to a suitable agency to evaluate the requirement for a home health aide and scheduling a family meeting, which will make sure that a complete assessment for the requirements of the family is made and the suitable assistance is initiated.
