Home Health Care Nurse
1. You are a home health care nurse scheduled for a home visit to your patient, a retired accounts payable clerk who is 7 days postsurgical with a new colostomy. Your patient lives with her husband who is involved in her care; they compile a list of questions between visits to ask upon your arrival at their home. During this visit, the patient had questions regarding her colostomy equipment and stoma care; her husband had questions regarding his current medication regimen. Both of them express concerns over recent changes in their health care coverage.
2. Outline your nursing care responsibilities, as the home health care nurse, in this scenario. Compare and contrast these responsibilities with those found in the acute care setting.
3. Explain what the Patient protection and affordable care act and health insurance marketplace are all about and who provides them?
