NURS 6540 Week 1 Changes in Sites of Care Discussion
Since the culture and practices of care settings are inherently
different, changes in sites of care are often difficult for geriatric
patients. Efforts should be made to limit changes to only those
necessary; however, sometimes a patient’s situation might require
multiple changes in sites of care. When selecting sites of care,
such as home, Helped living, rehabilitation facilities, and
hospitals, many factors must be considered by patients, their
families, and their health care providers. Health status, ability to
perform self-care, financial limitations, and patient preferences
are all factors that might influence a patient’s site placement. As
an advanced practice nurse who recommends sites of care and
facilitates changes, you must evaluate factors and consider sites
that limit the impact of these changes on geriatric patients. NURS
