Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Health problems faced by homeless people often are related directly to poor access to preventive health care services.The CHN can implement tertiary prevention by designating a wound room in which clients can carry out wound care activities taught during clinic visits.Only infected wounds would need treatment with antibiotics, not all wounds.Free bandaging only addresses one part of the problem and monitoring does not improve outcomes; only treatment does.
