Answer to Question 1
Correct Answer: 1
In forming nursing diagnoses related to clients in their places of residence, the nurse must consider the needs of the client, the needs of the client's family members or caregivers, and also the characteristics of the home environment (steps in the home, poor lighting, homes without heat can all lead to potential health problems for the client). Current at risk needs of the client may be addressed but the priority concern are the current needs. The community risks are not covered in the home health nurse's plan of care.
Answer to Question 2
Correct Answer: 2
Barriers to nurse migration include the process of requalification, costs of physical relocation, learning a new language and technical terminology, adapting to different clinical practices, and navigating the process of immigration (e.g., obtaining worker visas, residency, and/or citizenship) in the recipient country. Although some nurses who have migrated send part of their salary back to their home country, converting U.S. money is not a major issue for this individual to address. Living accommodations and transportation are not identified as barriers to nurse migration.
