Chapter 1 Questions
Question 1 of 5
Managed care organizations are insurers that carefully plan and closely supervise the distribution of healthcare services. What is one of the goals of managed care?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Preventing illness through screening and promotion of health activities is one of the goals of managed care. Improved training of healthcare professionals is the priority for international health and not the goal of managed care. Eliminating health disparities between the segments of population is a goal of Healthy People 2030. Providing hospice or home hospice care is only for terminally ill clients.
Question 2 of 5
In an effort to cut costs, hospitals have instituted many changes. Which of these cost-cutting factors is most likely to jeopardize the quality of care?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Hospitals are using unlicensed assistive personnel to perform some duties practical and registered nurses once provided. Many are concerned that the use of unlicensed assistive personnel will jeopardize the quality of care. Increasing numbers of clients in hospitals, not devoting enough time to the client, or the rise of medical costs are less likely to jeopardize the quality of care.
Question 3 of 5
Since losing a leg years ago, the client and their spouse have formed a community walking group to raise money for the homeless in their area. Which of the following has contributed to the client being viewed as 'healthy'?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Clients adapt physically, emotionally, and socially, enabling them to maintain comfort, stability, and self-expression. Clients with chronic illness can achieve a high level of wellness and experience high quality of life. Marriage is an aspect that contributes to quality of life but does not by itself define the quality of the client's life. All clients experience various states of health and illness.
Question 4 of 5
A 17-year-old client is having protected sex one to two times a week in a monogamous relationship. What is the client participating in?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Protecting one's current level of health by practicing safe sex to prevent illness is an example of a health maintenance activity. Health promotion strategies are used to enhance health, such as eating a diet high in fiber. Illness prevention includes identifying risk factors such as hypertension. Wellness is the balance of total well-being.
Question 5 of 5
A client complaining of bloody urine has scheduled an appointment with a family practitioner. What type of care is the client receiving?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The first provider that clients contact about a health need provides primary care; this person is typically a family practitioner or nurse practitioner. Secondary care includes referrals to facilities for additional testing. Tertiary care focuses on more complex medical and surgical intervention. Skilled nursing care occurs in facilities or units that offer prolonged health maintenance or rehabilitative services.
