Homeless clients need information to promote health and to use pertinent health care resources. Client education may include topics such as personal hygiene, recognizing and treating infestation, thermoregulatory disorders, tuberculosis screening, respiratory problems, sexually transmitted infections, signs of domestic violence, emergency services, and substance abuse issues. The nurse also educates clients about the nature of mental illness. Clients who are homeless are less likely to focus on less immediate health care needs, such as exercise, screening, or blood pressure control.
