Question 1 of 5
A 75-year-old man is being discharged to his home following a fall in his kitchen that resulted in a fractured pelvis. The home health nurse makes a home assessment that will be used to design interventions to meet which priority need?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: protection from potential harm. Following a fractured pelvis from a fall, the priority need is ensuring the patient's safety at home to prevent further harm. The home assessment will focus on identifying and addressing potential hazards that could lead to additional falls or injuries. This includes assessing the home environment for safety modifications, such as installing grab bars in the bathroom or removing tripping hazards. Ensuring protection from potential harm is essential for the patient's recovery and overall well-being. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect because they do not address the immediate safety concerns associated with the patient's fractured pelvis. While sleep and rest, support from family members, and feeling a sense of accomplishment are important aspects of care, they are not the priority in this scenario where the main focus should be on preventing further injury and ensuring the patient's safety at home.

Aggressively treating the symptoms (D) is important in palliative care, but the primary focus is on providing holistic comfort and support to enhance the patient's well-being.
