Question 1 of 5
Which of the following describes the goal of alternative care facilities?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The goal of alternative care facilities is to provide the least restrictive living arrangement while maintaining safety and quality. Patient-focused care uses an RN partnered with one or more assistive personnel to care for a group of clients.
Total care refers to assignments in which a nurse assumes all the care for a small group of clients. In primary nursing, an RN assumes 24-hour accountability for the client's care and has total responsibility for the nursing care of assigned clients during the shift.
Question 2 of 5
Which nursing theorist stated that clients are open systems in constant interaction with their environment?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Imogene King stated that clients are open systems in constant interaction with their environment. Florence Nightingale described the role of the nurse as putting 'the patient in the best condition for nature to act upon him.' Virginia Henderson envisioned the nurse's role as helping people (sick or well) to carry out activities contributing to health, recovery, or a peaceful death that they would do for themselves if they had the necessary strength, will, or knowledge. Dorothea Orem was a proponent of the self-care deficit theory.

Question 5 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.
