Answer to Question 1

Ans: B
After receiving a referral, the first step is to call the physician or discharge planner to collect as much information as possible about the client. After the nurse reviews the information, he or she can call the client to obtain permission and schedule the visit. The nurse may identify community services or the need for a home health aide after she assesses the client and the home environment during the first visit with the client.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: A
Continuity of care is a process by which health care providers give appropriate, uninterrupted care and facilitate a client's transition between different settings and levels of care. To do this, the nurse must, along with other responsibilities, collaborate with other members of the health care team in meeting all the needs of each client. The other answers are incorrect because they are not examples of the idea of the continuity of care.
