Answer to Question 1

A, B, D
Home care agencies provide direct, indirect, and respite care in the home. Acute care services are provided in the hospital.

Answer to Question 2

B, C
Home care is appropriate for a client with health needs that exceed the abilities of family and friends. Older adults who wish to avoid placement in a skilled nursing facility, those who require ongoing skilled care after discharge from the hospital, the terminally ill, and persons with chronic illness that must be monitored to avoid hospitalization are the most likely home health clients.
