The population health nurse is reviewing the long- and short-term criteria for a home visit to a client. The nurse completes this evaluation because it:

1. Indicates whether reimbursement will be provided to the agency.
2. Allows for tracking utilization of supplies for home visits.
3. Determines the effectiveness and appropriateness of the interventions and the client’s response.
4. Determines whether the interventions are at the primary, secondary, or tertiary level.

ESSAYBID ANSWER

Answer: 3
Explanation: 3. Unless there are evaluative criteria, the client’s response cannot be determined nor whether the interventions were effective and appropriate. Evaluative criteria can be used for reimbursement and supplies can be tracked with such criteria, but effectiveness of the visit cannot be determined without evaluative criteria. Evaluative criteria can be at any level of prevention.
