Answer explanation

Optimizing the role of the RN to ensure he or she can provide as much independent care as possible is essential to meet the goals of enhanced access and outcomes. This may be accomplished by putting medical directives in place, ensuring that all team members are clear on expectations and approaches to patient care, and participating in continuing education opportunities as a team. This can also mean providing more services to patients in their homes such as 24-hour blood-pressure monitoring, ABI assessment, insulin starts, etc.
