Outpatient clinic would be the best choice for a homeless client with Type 1 DM who requires daily insulin injections. This would allow the client to receive regular medical care and insulin injections while still allowing them to maintain their independence and continue living on the streets. Home health care may not be feasible for a homeless individual and partial hospitalization or inpatient care may be too restrictive and disrupt the client's ability to maintain their current living situation.
