A nurse orienting to the home health role states, I don't understand why we have to collaborate with so many other disciplines; this conflicts with the concept of nurses providing all direct care to the client in the home?
 
  Which of the following would be the best response?
  a. The nurse still provides direct care for the client; however, interdisciplinary collaboration is necessary to prevent fragmentation of care.
  b. Direct nursing care is a concept applied to care in tertiary facilities, such as hospitals, where materials are centrally located in one facility. In home health, this is not possible.
  c. Even though home health nursing does not provide as much direct care as other nursing specialties in the community, each discipline contributes to client needs from its special knowledge base.
  d. Yes, it does create conflict, but Medicare mandates interdisciplinary collaboration.

Question 2

Which of the following do community-based nurses typically use to organize, sort, and document pertinent client data?
 
  a. NANDA
  b. NIC NOC
  c. Nursing Diagnosis Taxonomy
  d. The Omaha System
