The nurse is admitting a client to a long-term care facility. What information will the nurse provide the clients when they express
a concern about needing to spend all their monthly income on the cost of their care?
a. "Your sister can provide you with some spending money; I'll ask the next time she visits."
b. "The facility will provide you with what you need; just let me know if you need something."
c. "You will receive some money each month that you can use to buy whatever you want."
d. "Most people here have very few outside needs; I'm sure you will feel the same way."
ANS: C
If institutional long-term care is needed, a single adult is required to contribute all but $35 dollars of his or her monthly income to partially cover the actual costs of care. It is not nec-essarily correct to assume the family will provide financial support to the client. The remain-ing options do not adequately address the client's concerns and appear to discount their con-cerns.
