Research has demonstrated that home-based approaches to care delivery produce better outcomes for certain populations. Population-focused home care is directed toward:

1. The needs of specific groups of people with high-risk health needs
2. Acutely ill adults in the home
3. Clients who are on home ventilators
4. People in rural areas with no access to care

Question 2

Nurses often assist in the promotion of healthy lifestyles. Health problems such as difficulty sleeping, muscle tension, lack of energy, chronic stress, and mood swings are common rea-sons people turn to medications.

Nurses can help clients understand that: 1. Taking medications is a way of life in America.
2. Medications often mask problems rather than solve them.
3. Some medications have substitute herbal agents that are more healthy.
4. Community resources and specialty organizations can help reduce drug abuse.
