Assessment Description
\nYou are a Home Health RN who is making an initial visit to the home of an elderly couple to assess and develop a
\nplan of care. Mr. Juarez, an 88-year-old man, broke his right tibia due to a fall. He was recently discharged from a
\nskilled rehabilitation center where he had developed a catheter-associated urinary tract infection (CAUTI) from his
\nindwelling urinary catheter. The infection has resolved, and he has now been discharged home with an indwelling
\nurinary catheter. He remains in a cast and has graduated to limited use of crutches but is still unable to perform
\nroutine activities of daily living (ADLs).You will be coming to the home once a week.
\nBased on this scenario, describe the infection control measures that need to be observed and the personal
\nprotective equipment (PPE) that would be used during these visits. Explain how some of the characteristics of
\nthe aging process may lead to vulnerabilities related to independent living, elder abuse, social connections,
\netc.
\nInitial discussion question posts should be a minimum of 200 words and include at least two references cited using APA format. Responses to peers or faculty should be 100-150 words and include one reference. Refer to
\n“RN-BSN DQ Rubric” and “RN-BSN Participation Rubric,” located in Class Resources, to understand the
\nexpectations for initial discussion question posts and participation posts, respectively. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
