Odelia’s patient Enrique is upset because he wants to be able to visit his niece for her birthday. Enrique is not allowed out of the hospital yet. What is the best strategy that Odelia can use to promote her patient’s independence in this issue without violating his rights or the hospital rules?

Offering Enrique the choice to call his niece supports his independence while respecting the hospital’s restriction on leaving. He can still decide how to connect with her without violating hospital rules. Allowing him to leave, even with supervision, would go against the restriction, while arranging a visit or suggesting a walk does not give him the same choice about contacting his niece.
