Document Content and Description Below

1. The home health nurse visits an elderly female client who had a brain attack three months ago and is now able to ambulate with the assistance of a quad cane. Which assessment finding has the grea ... test implications for this client's care? • The husband, who is the caregiver, begins to weep when the nurse asks how he is doing. • The client tells the nurse that she does not have much of an appetite today. • The nurse notes that there are numerous scatter rugs throughout the house.
