A) Prevention of infection
B) Availability of ready-to-eat food
C) Reduced emotional strain
D) Reduced medical expenses
C
Feedback:
A nurse should explain to the client that the family members and the client will experience reduced emotional strain as a benefit of home care. Providing home care does not prevent infection unless the family caregivers, the client, and the nurse follow strict aseptic techniques during care. A client can be provided with ready-to-eat foods even when he or she is in a healthcare facility and has difficulty swallowing solid foods or requires a balanced diet. A client who has Medicare insurance does not have to pay for medical expenses; instead, the care provider is reimbursed by the government.
