Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Home health nurses must be able to coordinate a variety of services, such as physical therapy, occupational therapy, and speech therapy, and work with other professional caregivers, such as social workers, in order to manage client's complex health problems. If after 60 days a client still needs skilled nursing care, the nurse must complete a recertification OASIS to validate care. There is no 60-day calendar limit. The social worker does not coordinate clients' care; the nurse does. The nurse does not transport clients; however, the nurse would notify the physician of the client decline and may need to call 911 if circumstances warrant.
