Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 1
Rationale 1: Some less desirable living locations pose safety concerns for the nurse. Many home health agencies have contracts with security firms to escort nurses needing to see clients in potentially unsafe neighborhoods. If there is no such firm for escort, the police can also provide security for the nurse.
Rationale 2: Calling ahead to the client's home is routine practice, regardless of where the client lives.
Rationale 3: Having the client meet the nurse at the agency is inappropriate, especially if the client meets the criteria for home care.
Rationale 4: Taking a second nurse along may not be a realistic intervention.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 1,2,3
Rationale: Caregiver role strain occurs when caregivers experience physical, emotional, social, and financial burdens that can seriously jeopardize their own health and well-being. Signs of caregiver overload or strain include those identified in the answer as well as difficulty performing routine tasks for the client; concerns that the caregiver's responsibilities interfere with other roles as parent, spouse, worker, and friend; anxiety about meeting future needs of the client; and feelings of depression. Learning how to manage finances is a positive statement and would not indicate strain.
