The nurse in the clinic is talking with a client who was recently diagnosed with a rare form of cancer
The office of the provider monitoring the client's progress is 100 miles away, so the nurse explains that telehealth will be used to enhance care. The nurse determines that further teaching is necessary when the client states: 1. "I will have to move closer to the provider.".
2. "I can participate in the videoconference.".
3. "My health record can stay where I am.".
4. "This will help lower some costs of care.".
1. "I will have to move closer to the provider.".
Rationale:
Using telehealth, the client can live and stay in the home and does not need to move closer to the treatment or monitoring facility. Telehealth allows for the client to participate in a videoconference, keep health records in the home agency, and lower many of the cost that could be incurred with frequent travel.
