A client is to be admitted to an intermediate care facility (ICF). Which of the following should the nurse tell the client about the ICF?
A) Employs unlicensed assistants to provide care
B) Provides basic care with a nurse on call
C) Provides rehabilitation services to clients
D) Ensures assistance with social services
B
Feedback:
The nurse should inform the client that the ICF provides basic care to clients with a nurse on call. ICFs provide room, board, and some nursing care. The ICF always employs a licensed nurse on duty and not unlicensed assistive personnel to provide care. The ICF provides fewer services and less extensive care than the skilled nursing facility (SNF); hence, rehabilitation services and social services are provided at an SNF and not at an ICF.
