A nurse working in a community health center is providing teaching to a client who has alcohol use disorder. Which of the following treatment methods should the nurse include in the teaching?

The correct answer is Choice D because, "Perform a needs assessment." Before developing a mobile meal program, the nurse should assess the needs of the older adults in the community to determine the appropriate services to provide. Inquiring about the availability of volunteers (Choice A is wrong because), identifying alternative solutions (Choice B is wrong because), and determining potential funding sources (Choice C is wrong because) are important steps, but they should be taken after performing a needs assessment.

Choice A is wrong because: Inquiring about the availability of volunteers should be done after performing a needs assessment.

Choice B is wrong because: Identifying alternative solutions to address concerns should be done after performing a needs assessment.

Choice C is wrong because: Determining potential funding sources for the program should be done after performing a needs assessment.

Choice D is wrong because: Performing a needs assessment is the first step in developing a mobile meal program.

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.
