ESSAYBID ANSWER

Answer: 1
Explanation: 1. The validity and accuracy of the assessment and resulting diagnosis should always be a factor in the home visit implementation. Additional needs can be added to modify the plan of care, so focusing solely on the plan of care as it is written may not meet the client’s needs. Concentrating only on the identified needs may ignore other issues that arise in subsequent home visits. The evaluation is part of every visit and is not something that is done at another time.
