Answer to Question 1

Ans: C
Telehealth is used to collect and transmit assessment information. The client does not have to call anyone, they are to use the equipment to collect weight and blood pressure to monitor congestive heart failure, this equipment will transmit the data. Television is not included in telehealth.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: C
The rural client is unlikely to have grocery delivery. And as a homebound rural client, a senior center would not be available. Only some clients qualify for skilled home nursing visits, there are not location limitations on personal emergency response systems, some now come with GPS and cellular capabilities.
