Exercise 4

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.
Speculate about personal and financial savings derived by clients being cared for at home rather than in a hospital or other institution.
