Reference no: EM133639817

As a primary health care nurse at a PHC clinic, you are assessing and interviewing a 21-year-old man who has come to the clinic because "I don't have any energy and haven't felt good in weeks." During the interview, you learn that he averages one meal per day, smokes up to two packs of cigarettes per day, and rummages through trash to find items to sell to purchase food, snacks, and cigarettes. He admits to using street drugs "every once in a while, when I can find someone who will share with me." He admits, "My life is a mess and I don't know how to make it better."

b. What questions should you ask yourself while interviewing this client?

c. During planning, how can you, as the nurse, best assist this client?
