What action should a nurse aide take if a client has hand tremors?

Assisting the client with activities of daily living (ADL) as needed is the most appropriate action when a client has hand tremors. Hand tremors can significantly affect a person's ability to perform tasks such as eating, dressing, or grooming, which may lead to frustration or feelings of loss of independence. Therefore, providing assistance helps ensure the client can complete these essential tasks safely and comfortably.

By supporting the client with ADLs, the nurse aide promotes independence to the extent possible while also ensuring the client's well-being and dignity. It's important to strike a balance between offering help and allowing the client to retain as much independence as they can manage. This approach fosters a supportive environment where the client feels cared for, which can enhance their overall quality of life.
