Chapter 1 : Concepts and Trends in Health Care Questions
Question 1 of 5
After hip surgery, a client is admitted to the rehabilitation hospital. What type of care is the client receiving?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Hospitals where specialized technology is available provide tertiary care. Primary care is the initial contact that a client has, such as an appointment with a family practitioner. Secondary care includes referrals for additional testing. Rehabilitation is aimed at restoring a people to their fullest abilities.
Question 2 of 5
The Healthy People 2030 initiative targets the improvement of health for all. In addition to eliminating health disparities, what are the broad goals of this plan?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Two broad goals of the Healthy People 2030 initiative are to increase quality and years of healthy life and eliminate health disparities. Healthy People 2030 initiatives will help with treatable problems but will not prevent problems. The initiative does not apply a systematic approach to health improvement or increase technological innovations.
Question 3 of 5
What method for financing healthcare is based on the ability to keep clients healthy and out of the hospital through periodic screening, health education, and preventive services?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Health maintenance organizations strive to keep their costs low and members out of the hospital through periodic screenings, health education, and preventive services. Managed care organizations are insurers who carefully plan and closely supervise the distribution of healthcare services. Preferred provider organizations are a community network of providers who are willing to discount their fees for service in exchange for a steady stream of referral customers. Point-of-service organizations involve a network of providers; clients select a primary care physician within the group who then serves as the gatekeeper for other healthcare services.
Question 4 of 5
The nurse is leading a cardiac rehabilitation support group. How can the nurse best demonstrate meeting the client's needs holistically?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Nurses practice from the perspective of holism, which is viewing a person's health as a state balance between body, mind, and spirit. Leading an exercise, showing a video about healthy lifestyle changes, and inviting a spiritual leader to talk with the support group are all ways the nurse can meet the clients' needs holistically. By combining these activities, the nurse addresses the needs of the body, mind, and spirit. Cooking classes, having clients discuss stress reduction, and demonstrating exercise techniques are each only addressing one type of need, and therefore are not on their own holistic methods.
Question 5 of 5
A client is brought into the emergency department by the rescue squad after involvement in a motorcycle accident with a severe spinal cord injury. As what type of illness does the nurse view this event?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Illness refers to a state of being sick and can be viewed as catastrophic or a sudden, traumatic illness, which has occurred with this client. The client has suffered a traumatic accident with serious injury and would be classified as catastrophic. This event is not chronic, terminal, or acute.
