In this scenario, it is unknown when home care visits will resume due to severe inclement weather. The high-priority clients are those who are at risk for harm if a scheduled visit cannot be made in 24 hours or more. The client who fell could have sustained a head injury and needs assessment. The client in need of pre-filled insulin syringes could become hyperglycemic if insulin is unavailable. The client with the stage 3 pressure injury has a scheduled dressing change for a serious wound and this should not be postponed.
(Option 2) Maintenance doses of cyanocobalamin for vitamin B12 deficiency are usually administered every 4 weeks. Although this client should receive the injection as soon as possible, postponing the home care visit for 1 or 2 days will not harm the client.
(Option 4) This client can be provided with telephonic care management; the nurse can perform medication reconciliation over the phone and provide instructions regarding care.
Educational objective:
During a weather-related emergency, home care visits are classified as:
1. High priority- unstable clients who need care and are at risk for hospitalization if not seen.
2. Moderate priority - clients who are moderately stable and will suffer no harm if a visit is postponed; telephonic care management can be provided to these clients.
3. Low priority clients who are stable and can engage in self-care and/or have a caregiver who can provide or assist with care.
