A home health nurse is teaching a guardian about administering tube feedings to their 3-
month-old infant. Which of the following information should the nurse include in the teaching?

A.

A. Hospice care improves quality of life through palliative care - This is a central aspect of hospice care, focusing on pain and symptom management to enhance the patient's comfort and quality of life.

B. Hospice care provides 24-hr, in-home care - While hospice care may provide support, it typically does not offer around-the-clock care in the home.

C. Hospice care is intended to postpone death - Hospice care aims to provide comfort and support in the final stages of life, not to postpone death.

D. Hospice care encourages the family to coordinate health care services - While family

involvement is important, hospice care typically involves a coordinated interdisciplinary team rather than relying solely on family for coordination.

A. Notifying the facility operator is important, but it is not the immediate priority when there is a fire endangering the client's safety.

B. While closing fire doors can help contain the fire, it is not the priority action after ensuring the client's immediate safety.

C. Turning off oxygen sources is crucial because oxygen can fuel the fire and cause it to spread rapidly. This action helps prevent the fire from worsening.

D. Putting out the fire with the appropriate extinguisher is important, but it comes after ensuring the fire's fuel source is cut off to prevent further escalation of the fire.
