Madden is a 67-year-old African American male with a 20-year history of hypertension and diabetes mellitus. He has recently undergone amputation of three toes due to poor circulation.
Because he is progressing well and his diabetes is under control, he is being discharged from the acute care setting to go home. He has been referred to a hospital-based home health agency, which will assign a nurse to change his foot dressings, administer IV antibiotics, and monitor his blood glucose levels.
When delivering care in the home environment, how will the nurse's role be similar to and different from that of the nurse's role in the acute care environment?
