ATI RN Pharmacology Proctored Exam 2023
A nurse is caring for a client who was admitted for an exacerbation of their COPD. The client will be discharged with a new prescription for oxygen therapy and will need assistance with activities of daily living. Which of the following referrals should the nurse obtain for the client?
Explanation & Rationale
A. Case manager A case manager helps coordinate home oxygen therapy, arranges for home health services, and ensures the client has access to needed resources, such as durable medical equipment and personal assistance for ADLs. B. Hospice care facility Hospice is appropriate for clients with a terminal illness and a life expectancy of 6 months or less. COPD is chronic but not necessarily end-stage. C. Long-term care facility This client is not indicated for long-term institutional care but rather for home-based support. D. Pharmacist While a pharmacist is important for medication education, they do not coordinate oxygen therapy or ADL assistance.
