During the initiation phase of the home visit, the home health nurse will

1. Contact the client and approach the visit with self-confidence.
2. Document care that is to be provided by the nurse and other team members.
3. Perform an inspection of the client's environment and functional status.
4. Review the chart or records left in the home to make sure permissions are signed and records are up-to-date.

A very important consideration in hospice nursing is to

1. Encourage the client and the family to not give up and continue to look for a cure to the illness.

3. Include caring for the caregivers' mental and physical health.
4. Provide stringent health education to ensure that the caregiver will not accidentally overdose the client with pain medication.
