Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
It is good to offer to pray for the client and to ask the faith community's leader and the faith community to pray for the client. But the request was immediate, so the best response is to use the faith's traditional prayers, which the parish nurse has memorized. If nothing comes to mind, the FCN can use a book of the faith to find a prayer that is suitable. A guideline to follow is to keep the prayer simple and offer the request to the client's higher power.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Home health nurses often identify documentation as a frustration. Medicare holds a prominent position as a home health care payer; therefore, the HCFA's regulations determine the home health industry's documentation. Correct and accurate completion of required Medicare forms is the key to reimbursement. The forms require documentation of the nurse's care given.
