Ahospital nurse is discussing with an older adult the possibility transfer to a nursing home for skilled care after pneumonia. which statement by the client indicates an understanding of this possible transfer? a) old people who go to the nursing home don't get out. b) they will take my home if i go to the nursing home. c) i don't qualify for skilled care, i only had pneumonia. d) i have already used 45 medicare days this year.

D) I have already used 45 Medicare days this year.

Explanation:

Medicare and other programs for the insurance of the health covers 100 days of care. This insurance cover can include the diagnosis and treatment associated with the skilled care, fractured hip, rehabilitation after acute illness, heart failure and others. This is associated with the provision of the nursing and day care facilities.

If the older adult has already used the 45 medicare days after the care of pneumonia the client may experience the fact that he should shift to other location for the same care.

i agree d is most definitely correct!
