A home health nurse is conducting an assessment of a patient who may qualify for Medicare. Consequently, the nurse is utilizing the Outcome and Assessment Instrument Set (OASIS)
When performing an assessment using this instrument, the nurse should assess which of the following domains of the patient's current status?
A) Psychiatric status
B) Spiritual state
C) Compliance with care
D) Functional status
Ans: D
Feedback:
The Omaha System of care documentation has been required for over a decade to assure that outcome-based care is provided for all care reimbursed by Medicare. This system uses six major domains: sociodemographic, environment, support system, health status, functional status, and behavioral status and addresses selected health service utilization. It does not explicitly assess spirituality, psychiatric status, or compliance with care.
