The nurse is visiting the home of the client in response to the client's blood pressure, which has risen to 196/102. The home health care nurse has lost wireless connection to the Internet because the client lives in a rural area
What is a consequence of the lack of access to the Internet?
1. The nurse will be unable to assist the ambulance personnel as they try to navigate their way to the client's house.
2. The nurse will be unable to access the National Institutes of Health hypertension treatment guidelines.
3. The nurse will be unable to charge the client the appropriate amount for providing treatment.
4. The nurse's manager will be unable to use the client's information in a research study about hypertension.
Answer: 2
Rationale: The nurse has lost the ability to access the Internet via a wireless connection. The nurse should be able to summon an ambulance with a landline telephone. The nurse will be unable to access the guidelines from the National Institutes of Health regarding hypertension treatment. The nurse should still be able to charge for supplies used in stabilizing or treating the client. This information can be saved and accessed later. The nurse's manager should still be able to use the client data in a research study. This information can be saved and accessed later.
