Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Home care services would be the most appropriate choice for Mrs.Albert as she has decreased mobility due to pain and a complex abdominal wound dressing. Home care services would allow her to receive the necessary medical care and assistance with activities of daily living in the comfort of her own home. The community health centre may not have the resources to provide the specific care needed for her wound, and a physician's office may not have the capacity to provide ongoing care and assistance. Quaternary health care is not typically necessary for a patient with a complex wound dressing and decreased mobility.
