Answer to Question 1

B, C, F
Feedback:
Advantages of working in home care include the following: the unique opportunity to care for only a small number of clients. In the home, the nurse can get to know the client and the family better, has greater flexibility in planning the workday, and is able to assist the client to remain at home, where he or she is most comfortable. Disadvantages of working in home care nursing include working alone much of the time, being required to be on call, providing personal transportation to the client's home (in some cities, public transportation is available and some agencies provide cars), consideration of safety issues, and the large amount of documentation required for the home care agency and third-party payors.

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback:
If a nurse or environmental worker has a needlestick, this must be reported immediately to the employee health service and an incident report filed. The staff member and involved client will require blood tests. If the client has an infection, such as HIV or MRSA, the healthcare worker may require immediate treatment. Blood tests will be repeated in 6 months, to make sure there is no ensuing infection.
