The nurse plans care for older adults who are in good health but isolated from their families. If the nurse's goal is to move the adults toward gerotranscendence, which intervention should the nurse use in the plan of care?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Help each person with individual activities. This intervention aligns with promoting gerotranscendence, as it focuses on supporting older adults in engaging in personal growth and reflection. By assisting individuals with meaningful activities tailored to their preferences and abilities, the nurse encourages self-discovery and personal fulfillment.
A: Giving a daily tea party for the group may foster social interaction but does not necessarily address individual growth or self-reflection.
B: Calling each family to encourage visiting may help reduce isolation but does not directly promote gerotranscendence.
C: Assisting them to resume midlife patterns may not be suitable as older adults may benefit more from exploring new activities and perspectives in their later years.
