Question:

Answers:
In todays society Home nursing has become not an option but a necessity. With all of the recent changes in Health care, people are now sent home post operatively 2-3 days after major surgery where they use to stay in the acute care hospital for weeks. Medicare, which is your largest provider of Home health care feels that family members "can be taught" to administer care and change dressings that in prior times only health care providers could do. For the patient, many find being at home is much more comforting and comfortable and often the positive psychological affects increase the time of recovery.just being home and with their loved ones. At any rate, Home health care is here to stay and even as we write this, the changes are putting more and more responsibility on the family to administer care and in the future if this trend continues, the role of the Home Health Care nurse will not be to administer care but rather just to oversee it.
