Explanation of Solution

The nurse should learn the previous general community activities of the patient such as attending church services or something like that. The nurse could make the members of the community visit the patient. This will provide her with positive reinforcement of self-concept.

Encouraging the patient to recollect and to tell her past life experiences seems to be helpful to improve the safety and quality care for the patients like Mrs. S.
