The nurse should call the client before arrival to ensure they are expected and to assess any immediate safety concerns. Carrying a cell phone ensures the nurse can call for help if needed. Making visits during the daytime reduces the risk associated with visiting high-crime areas at night. Being accompanied by a co-worker can provide additional safety and support.
