In planning for home care of a woman with preterm labor, the following concern should be addressed:
A. home health care providers will be necessary.
B. restricted activity and medications will be necessary to prevent recurrence of pre-term labor.
C. child and family care tasks are typically carried out by the woman.
D. nursing assessments will be different from those done in the hospital setting.
C
Although home care allows a more normal environment while minimizing family disruption, any barriers (such as child or family care) that would keep the woman from carrying out the prescribed treatment need to be discussed. Home health care providers, restricted activity, and medications may not be necessary. Nursing assessments related to uterine activity and fetal movements are the same in the home setting as in the hospital.
