Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback:
Clients requiring a moderate amount of skilled nursing care are admitted to an intermediate care unit. The nurse should know that clients who need additional observation before hospitalization are likely to be admitted to a CDU because it provides care for clients who need additional observation, diagnostic testing, or treatment before hospital admission or discharge. Clients who require transitioning from the hospital or skilled nursing facility will be cared for in a self-care unit, not the clinical decision unit. Clients who have abused chemical substances are admitted to a chemical dependency unit.
