The nurse should offer solutions to the client's problem by suggesting options such as taking classes at a local library or community learning center to learn how to use a computer. This would empower the client to learn a new skill and fulfill the requirement, rather than simply labeling them as resistant or noncompliant with medical instruction. It is not necessary to notify the physician at this point.
