Correct Answer
A. TrueExplanation
A nursing agency is indeed used to balance self-care agency and self-care demand in order to minimize self-care deficit. Nursing agencies provide healthcare professionals who can assist individuals in meeting their self-care needs when they are unable to do so independently. These professionals help individuals maintain their health and well-being by providing necessary care and support. By balancing self-care agency (the individual's ability to perform self-care activities) with self-care demand (the amount of care required), nursing agencies can help minimize self-care deficit and promote optimal health outcomes.Rate this question:

The nurse then provides support and education to help Mr. H compensate for his limitations and improve his abilities.Rate this question:
