Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Many home health care expenditures are financed by Medicare, which allows nurses to manage and evaluate patient care for seriously ill patients who have complex, labile conditions and are at high risk for rehospitalization. Home health nurses, despite who funds their visits, do not provide care without the oversight of a physician; they do not normally write medication orders; nor do they order the services of ancillary specialists such as physical, occupational, or speech therapists.
