Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The nurse should include the reason for the visit,how or from whom the referral was obtained,and a brief summary of what is known about the family's situation.The nurse should negotiate a time for the visit,preferably when most family members are available.Clients should be told the fee and possible methods of payment before the nurse assesses the family's willingness for a home visit.If the family does not have a phone,mail can be used to share information.It would be inappropriate for the nurse to share everything that she knows about the family with the family as there may be some information that the family does not need to know.Without visiting the family first,the nurse may not yet know the number of visits that may be planned.
