Home health nurses experience a variety of challenges in caring for their clients. Unlike the acute care setting, entry into the home is ___________.

Fill in the blank with the appropriate word.

ANSWER

Correct Answer: granted, not assumed
Rationale : The home is the family’s territory, and issues in delivering care differ from those in the hospital. Entry into a client’s hospital room is assumed, or the client would not be hospitalized. Entry into a client’s home is an invited, trusting process which does not occur as quickly as it might in the acute care facility.
