Answer to Question 1

Ans: C
Feedback:
The child has not been home since birth. Thus, the parents will need emotional assistance to enhance bonding. The nurse supports the parents to meet the infant's physical and emotional needs and encourages them to strengthen the parentchild bond. Genetic counseling is not relevant at this point and health assessment is primarily the nurse's responsibility. Financial assistance is beyond the nurse's scope of responsibility.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: B
Feedback:
An essential difference in home care versus acute care is that the home care nurse is a guest in the client's home. Family or other support persons are the primary caregivers, rehabilitation may not be the goal, and the nurse does not typically act as a counselor or advisor.
