Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Once the nurse arrives at the client's home, there is the challenge of getting through the closed door and making the connection. The nurse must always remember that he or she is a guest in the home. Although there may be dangers, the nurse must focus on the client while maintaining a watchful eye. Clients may be apprehensive or suspicious about a nurse coming to visit, wondering why or what they did. Not all clients are welcoming. The nurse needs to start where the client and family are, not what the nurse thinks is best.
