Answer to Question 1

Ans: B
Of all the methods used to prevent infection, hand hygiene is the most important and is necessary before and after treating the client (i.e., when beginning and ending the home visit).

Answer to Question 2

Ans: D
Patients often need help understanding the complex health care system, including handling insurance problems. Advocacy (the protection and support of another's rights) is an important role of the home health care nurse. By convincing the insurance company of the client's continued need for home care services, the nurse is acting as an advocate.
