Question 1 of 5
Veterans' hospitals are an example of which type of ownership?

Question 2 of 5
A religious organization is an example of this type of ownership?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Nonprofit institutions include universities and religious organizations. Veterans' hospitals are an example of government-owned or public healthcare institutions, which receive at least some tax support. For-profit agencies (proprietary) are owned and operated by corporate groups with investors and stockholders.
Question 3 of 5
Which type of length of stay includes emergency department visits?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: An example of in-and-out care is an emergency department visit. Long-term care provides care to residents for the remainder of their lives. Acute care occurs in hospitals where clients stay more than 24 hours but less than 30 days. Short stay provides care to clients who suffer from acute conditions or need treatments that entail less than 24 hours of care and monitoring.
Question 4 of 5
A student nurse asks the nursing instructor, 'What will my role as a nurse encompass after I graduate?' What is the best response by the nursing instructor?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Nursing is concerned with caring for individuals, families, or groups. Nurses not only care for clients when they are ill but also play a significant role in health education, illness prevention, and promotion. Nurses attend to client needs related to: hygiene; activity; diet; the environment; medical treatment; and physical, emotional, and spiritual comfort.
Therefore, nurses care for clients in a variety of settings, not just hospitals or long-term care facilities. Though nurses may choose to specialize in a certain area of healthcare, all these areas involve health education and promotion and illness prevention.
Question 5 of 5
The LPN is caring for clients at the hospital's medical unit. What role does the LPN/LVN have in the care of clients on this unit?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The LPN/LVN provides care to clients under the direction of a registered nurse (RN), advanced practice nurse (APRN), or physician in a structured healthcare setting. LPN/LVNs care for clients with well-defined, common problems that often require a high level of technical competency and expertise. The other answers are all roles that an RN would have.
