Care of Special Populations

The nurse is volunteering with an outreach program to provide basic health care for homeless people. Which finding, if noted, should be addressed first?

ExplanationThe nurse should address the complaints of pain and numbness and tingling in both feet first with this population. If the client perceives value to the service provided, they will be more likely to return for follow-up care. While the blood pressure, blood glucose, and vision results are concerning, the client’s stated concern should be addressed first.
