Answer to Question 1

2, 3, 5, 6
When administering intravenous medications in the home, the nurse needs to evaluate the home for cleanliness, place for supplies, clean work area, refrigeration, pets, sufficient electrical outlets, no insects or parasites, telephone, and batteries and supplies. The nurse does not need to assess for food or the location of throw rugs.

Answer to Question 2

1, 2, 4, 5, 6
The Five Wishes document helps clients express themselves if they are seriously ill and unable to communicate their wishes for themselves. It looks at all of a client's needs: medical, personal, emotional, and spiritual. Comments and ideas for health care providers is not a part of the Five Wishes document.
