A Nurse Has Been Volunteering at a Community Center in a Very

A nurse has been volunteering at a community center in a very rural area twice a month for several years. Over the last few months, the nurse has noticed that the patient load has increased substantially as the population of this community has aged. It is not feasible for the nurse to spend more time at this center. How can the nurse continue to serve the needs of the community?

A) Try to hire another nurse to help fill in.
B) Set up a telehealth arrangement so the nurse can answer simple questions from home or while on the road.
C) Set up a scheduling and triage system so the nurse only sees the neediest patients.
D) Consider closing the free clinic and opening a fee-for-service center.
