Answer to Question 1
ANS: C
Adult family homes (supportive housing programs) provide a quieter and more personal living arrangement for patients who need supervision. The patient becomes a part of the family structure and is expected to fit into the normal routines of the household performing routine tasks of daily living when appropriate. The patient may not have a private bedroom and will have only the independence they are capable of managing effectively and safely. Any place-ment is intended to ensure a clean, safe place to live.
Answer to Question 2
ANS: C
It is crucial that the nurse who is planning a home visit evaluate the potential risks of that vis-it before beginning the actual interventions. Risk evaluation always includes the patient's history, especially current emotional and behavioral status. Calling ahead to make an ap-pointment is standard procedure and is more directed towards respect than safety. Having access to a telephone is good practice but has little impact on minimizing risk. It is not rec-ommended to set the expectation that the family will receive a gift with each visit.
