Feedback:
The nurse should inform the client that COE programs have developed several centers to accommodate groups with specific disorders. These multidisciplinary programs include assessment, treatment, and rehabilitation therapy. The COE programs provide care for clients with special needs, not only for those clients with mental illness. Centers for Medicare and Medicaid, not COE, offer financial support for clients at an LTC facility. Quality improvement organizations, not COE, assist in improving the quality of care provided at LTC facilities.
