Answer to Question 1

Ans: B
Home medical services provide durable medical equipment, such as walkers, canes, crutches, wheelchairs, high-rise toilet seats, commodes, beds, and oxygen. Custodial services include homemaking and housekeeping services, as well as companionship and live-in services. Hospice services provide pain management, physician services, spiritual support, respite care, and bereavement counseling. High-technology pharmacology services provide intravenous therapy, home uterine monitoring, ventilator management, and chemotherapy.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: B
When identifying needs of the client and family the nurse needs to consider the culture of the family unit. Information regarding the responsibilities of each family member, cultural foods important to the family, and the family members' perceptions of what is causing the illness can assist the nurse in providing culturally sensitive care. The nurse also needs to assess the physical environment of the home. However, referring to the home as cluttered is a judgmental statement that will cause the family to become defensive and will prevent the development of a trusting relationship.
