Answer to Question 1

1. The patient is returning home with adjustments in the home environment to support a temporary alteration in mobility status.
2. The patient needs additional teaching to understand the reason for taking Coumadin at the same time every day.
3. The patient is not independent with personal care and will need assistance when at home.
4. The patient is easily fatigued and will need assistance with meal preparation and medication administration.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 1

Providing care based on a framework of wellness facilitates active involvement by both the nurse and the patient in promoting, maintaining, or restoring health. Because the patient is concerned with declining mobility status, the nurse should include interventions to help restore this status for the patient. Activities to promote the current level of functioning, providing suggestions to maintain the patient's current mobility status, and helping the patient cope with the decline in mobility status would also not support wellness care.
