Which statement is true concerning telehealth?
1. Access to care may be delayed until the proper equipment can be delivered to the client's home.
2. Clients must travel to special on-site locations where equipment and telecommunication devices are available.
3. Nurse practitioner services may be reduced because physicians can assess and treat clients themselves.
4. Clients may stay within their own community to be assessed and treated, lowering potential costs.

Rationale: Clients may stay within their own community to be assessed and treated, lowering potential costs. Access to care is typically improved, with time and travel savings for the client. Nurse practitioner services may actually be extended because of physician availability as resources. Clients may or may not have equipment at home with which they may transmit information; but access to care would not be delayed just because the equipment had not yet been delivered.
