Coordinated Care PN NCLEX Questions Questions
Question 1 of 5
A nurse discharge planner is preparing a client for discharge from an acute care setting. The nurse assesses that skilled home care services are clinically indicated. This assessment is based on all of the following indicators except:
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Family availability to provide care and assistance is not an indicator for skilled home care. In fact, the nurse might see some opportunity for family education in meeting the client's needs so that less community support is needed. Frequent hospital readmissions imply that the client has not been able to manage either due to condition instability or lack of care needs being met. This is a red flag for home care services to be able to meet those needs and appropriately monitor the client. A Foley catheter is an indication for home care due to infection potential and care requirements. IV antibiotics involve home care due to maintaining line patency and assessment of the site.
