Why is it important for the nurse to inform the health care agency of her daily schedule?
A) Allows the agency to keep track for payment of the nurse
B) Supports suggested safety precautions for the nurse when making a home care visit
C) Allows easy accessibility of the nurse for changes in assignments
D) Allows the patient to cancel appointments with minimal inconvenience
Ans: B
Feedback: Whenever a nurse makes a home visit, the agency should know the nurse's schedule and the locations of the visits. The other answers are incorrect because providing the agency with a copy of the daily schedule is not for the purpose of correctly paying the nurse or for the ease of the nurse in changing assignments or for the patient's ease in canceling appointments.
