  2. Are at risk for hospitalization due to comorbid conditions or environmental factors. 
  3. Have wounds or drains that require additional care, assessment and instruction. 
  4. Have difficulty walking to the bathroom, need assistance with toileting/hygiene and would benefit from adaptive equipment or techniques.

  6. Could benefit from an action plan to help manage exacerbations before they become severe.
