A nurse in an ambulatory care setting is orienting a newly licensed nurse who is preparing to return a call to a client. The nurse should explain that which of the following is an objective of telehealth?
Correct answer
C
Rationale
The correct answer is C: Assessing client needs. Telehealth aims to remotely assess and address client needs through virtual communication technologies. This objective allows healthcare providers to evaluate a client's condition, provide necessary guidance, and determine appropriate care. Options A and B focus more on internal processes and protocols rather than direct client care. Option D, providing medication reconciliation, is a specific task within healthcare that may be facilitated through telehealth but is not the primary objective.
