Intermittent Skilled Nursing is nursing care for homebound patients post-hospitalization.

• A. City residents
• B. Weekday clinic visits
• C. Homebound patients post-hospitalization
• D. Weekend wellness checks

Answer: (C)

Intermittent Skilled Nursing is about delivering skilled nursing care in the patient’s home on an intermittent basis, specifically for those who are homebound after a hospital stay. This captures the scenario where a person who has recently been hospitalized needs professional nursing support at home—such as wound care, medication management, IV therapy, and monitoring—without staying in a hospital or moving to a clinic. The emphasis is on the home setting and the post-discharge recovery period for someone who is homebound. The other options describe different contexts (geographic residence, outpatient clinic visits, or non-structured weekend checks) that do not reflect this home-based, post-hospital, skilled nursing care.
