Answer to Question 1

Ans: A, C
The occupational therapist evaluates the client's functional level, educates the client and family on promoting self-care in activities of daily living, assesses the home for safety, and provides adaptive equipment (as necessary). Muscle-strengthening exercises are provided by the physical therapist. Assistance with securing needed equipment is provided by the social worker. The home health aide implements the plan of care designed by the nurse, and the nurse researches the cost-effectiveness of the plan.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: A, B, D
To provide continuity of care, nurses must consider education and referrals in the care of any person admitted to any type of health care setting, and must also involve the client and family in a mutual planning process. The nurse must also collaborate with other members of the health care team in meeting the physical, psychological, sociocultural, and spiritual needs of the client and family, in all settings and at all levels of health or illness. Although it is important to be a mentor, role model, and researcher, these roles are not directly related to providing continuity of care.
