A PMHNP is treating a 72-year-old woman with generalized anxiety disorder and mild neurocognitive disorder. During a routine medication management visit, the patient's son, who serves as her primary caregiver, steps out of the room. The patient becomes tearful and states, 'My son takes my Social Security check every month and only gives me a small allowance. He yells at me when I ask for more money and tells me I'll end up in a nursing home if I complain.' She then quickly adds, 'Please don't say anything — he's all I have and I don't want to lose him.' Physical examination is unremarkable. Which of the following is the most appropriate action by the PMHNP?
