A client diagnosed with cancer is receiving care through a facility that is 100 miles from the client's home

Select all that apply.

B) "My health record can stay where I am."
C) "I can participate in the videoconference."
D) "I will have to change doctors."
E) "This will help lower some costs of care."
Answer: B, C, E
Using telehealth, the client can live and stay in the home and does not need to move closer to the treatment or monitoring facility. The client will not be required to change healthcare providers. Telehealth allows for the client to participate in a videoconference, keep health records in the home agency, and lower many of the costs that could be incurred with frequent travel.
