A nurse is giving a talk to a local community group whose members advocate for disabled members of the community. The group is interested in emerging trends that are impacting the care of people who are disabled in the community
The nurse should describe an increasing focus on what aspect of care?
A) Extended rehabilitation care
B) Independent living
C) Acute-care center treatment
D) State institutions that provide care for life
Ans: B
Feedback:
There is a growing trend toward independent living for patients who are severely disabled, either alone or in groups. The goal is integration into the community. The nurse would be sure to mention this fact when talking to a local community group. The nurse would not describe extended rehabilitation care, acute-care center treatment, or state institutions because these are not increasing in importance.
