When arranging for the delivery of medical equipment to a client's home, a nurse case manager is functioning in which of the following roles?

A.While insurance coverage is important, it is not a criterion for qualifying for hospice care. Hospice care focuses on providing comfort and support to terminally ill patients, regardless of insurance coverage.

B.Hospice care can be provided in various settings, including the home, hospice facilities, or inpatient units. The need for inpatient care due to a lack of a caregiver is not a criterion for hospice eligibility; rather, hospice focuses on the terminal nature of the illness.

C.Hospice careis a service for people with serious illnesses who choose not to get (or continue) treatment to cure or control their illness. People may choose to enroll in hospice care if the treatment is unlikely to be effective or if continuing it has become too burdensome.

D.Choice D states that the client has documentation stating they have less than 12 months to live. However, for hospice care eligibility, the standard criterion is a life expectancy ofsix months or less, as certified by a physician. This is a key distinction, as hospice care focuses on providing comfort and support during the final months of life, rather than extending life expectancy.

. Tertiary prevention aims to prevent complications or further deterioration in individuals with existing health problems. Developing resources for victims of abuse is an example of tertiary prevention because it aims to prevent further harm to individuals who have already experienced violence. Presenting community education programs about stress management and urging community leaders to make nonviolence a priority are examples of primary prevention activities, which aim to prevent the occurrence of violence in the first place. Assessing for risk factors of intimate partner abuse during health examinations is an example of secondary prevention, which aims to detect violence early and intervene to prevent its progression.
