A faith community nurse is preparing to meet with the family of an adolescent who has leukemia. Which of the following actions should the nurse plan to take?

The correct answer is Choice B because, "Compiling resources available to transition individuals from shelters to a home." Secondary prevention focuses on minimizing the impact of an event that has already occurred, and providing resources for individuals to transition from a shelter to a home can help minimize the long-term impact of the disaster.

Choice A is wrong because, "Publishing a listing of shelter locations in local media sources," is not the correct answer because it is a primary prevention strategy that focuses on preventing the negative effects of a disaster.

Choice C is wrong because, "Interviewing shelter residents to determine the effectiveness of coping behaviors," is not the correct answer because it is a tertiary prevention strategy that focuses on providing support to individuals who have already experienced negative effects of a disaster.

Choice D is wrong because, "Providing age-appropriate activities for shelter residents," is not the correct answer because it is a tertiary prevention strategy that focuses on providing support to individuals who have already experienced negative effects of a disaster.

The correct answers are Choice B, "I can receive care in the hospital or at home," Choice D, "I will receive care from a variety of interprofessional team members," and choice E, "I can discontinue hospice care whenever I want."

The client who has a terminal illness should understand that hospice care can be provided in the hospital or at home, that a variety of interprofessional team members will provide care, and that they can discontinue hospice care whenever they want. These answers are correct because they demonstrate an accurate understanding of hospice care.

Hospice care can be provided in a variety of settings, including the home or a hospital, and typically involves a team of healthcare professionals, such as doctors, nurses, social workers, and spiritual counselors, who work together to address the physical, emotional, and spiritual needs of the client and their family. Hospice care is focused on comfort and quality of life, rather than curative treatment, and clients can choose to discontinue care at any time.

Choice A is wrong because, "I will need to have private insurance because Medicare does not cover hospice services," is incorrect because Medicare does cover hospice services. Hospice care is a covered benefit under Medicare Part A, and most private insurance plans also cover hospice care.

Choice C is wrong because, "My provider will recommend that I enter hospice care when I have 1 year left to live," is incorrect because there is no set time frame for entering hospice care. Hospice care is appropriate for clients with a life expectancy of six months or less, as determined by their physician, but there is no requirement that clients must have one year left to live before entering hospice care.

The correct answers are B, D, and E because they accurately reflect the nature of hospice care and the options available to clients who are receiving this type of care.
