A nurse is assisting with providing a presentation to a group of nurses on lifelong learning in nursing. Which of the following resources should the nurse include in the teaching? (Select all that apply)

Choice A reason: Home care is the most appropriate resource referral for this client, as they will need skilled nursing care to perform wound care and monitor the healing process. Home care can also provide education and support for the client and their family.

Choice B reason: Assisted living is not a suitable resource referral for this client, as they do not provide skilled nursing care or wound care. Assisted living facilities are designed for clients who need assistance with activities of daily living, but not medical care.

Choice C reason: Long-term care is not a necessary resource referral for this client, as they do not have a chronic or terminal condition that requires 24hour nursing care. Long-term care facilities are intended for clients who are unable to live independently due to physical or cognitive impairments.

Choice D reason: Hospice care is not an appropriate resource referral for this client, as they do not have a terminal illness or a life expectancy of less than six months. Hospice care provides palliative care and comfort measures for clients who are dying and their families.

Choice A reason: If client is uninsured the ED can decline to render services is not an information that the nurse should include in the teaching. This is a false statement that contradicts the purpose and the provision of EMTALA. According to EMTALA, any hospital that participates in Medicare and has an emergency department must provide an appropriate medical screening examination to anyone who requests it, regardless of their insurance status or ability to pay.
Choice B reason: The ED has the right to refuse to provide client services is not an information that the nurse should include in the teaching. This is a false statement that violates the principle and the requirement of EMTALA. According to EMTALA, any hospital that participates in Medicare and has an emergency department has a duty to provide stabilizing treatment to any individual who has an emergency medical condition or is in active labor, unless an appropriate transfer is arranged.

Choice C reason: The ED can transfer medically unstable clients to other facilities is not an information that the nurse should include in the teaching. This is a false statement that breaches the rule and the regulation of EMTALA. According to EMTALA, any hospital that participates in Medicare and has an emergency department must not transfer an individual who has an emergency medical condition or is in active labor, unless the transfer is requested by the individual or their representative, or the transfer meets certain criteria, such as the benefits outweigh the risks, the receiving facility has agreed to accept the transfer, and the transfer is effected by qualified personnel and equipment.
Choice D reason: Clients must receive a medical screening evaluation (MSE) is an information that the nurse should include in the teaching. This is a true statement that reflects the essence and the standard of EMTALA. According to EMTALA, any hospital that participates in Medicare and has an emergency department must provide an appropriate medical screening examination to anyone who comes to the emergency department and requests examination or treatment for a medical condition, to determine whether or not an emergency medical condition exists
