A client is unable to care for her needs and requires assistance with activities of daily living
The son calls the clinic and informs the LPN that he wants his mother to be able to remain in her home but must work and is unable to care for her 24 hours per day. What options can the LPN suggest for the care of his mother? A) Employ private duty nurses to care for the parent.
B) He must admit his mother to a nursing home.
C) He will have to quit his job and stay home to care for her.
D) Take her to an adult day care center.
A
Feedback:
A modern version of the case method is private duty nurse where care is provided in the home and many household duties are performed as well. The son does not have to admit his parent to the nursing home if he chooses not to, and he will not have to quit his job if he can have a nurse come into the home. Adult day care would not assist with after-hour care.
