Which of the following statement best describe cost sharing?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Cost sharing is patient and insurer split costs (B), per definition e.g., copays for Mr. Gary. Not free (A), not rule (C), not one-time (D) shared model. B best defines its structure, balancing payment, making it correct.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The nursing process is a systematic, five-step framework for delivering patient-centered care: assessing, diagnosing, planning, implementing, and evaluating. It begins with assessment, where the nurse collects comprehensive data about the patient's health status. Next, diagnosing involves analyzing this data to identify health problems or risks. Planning follows, where specific goals and interventions are developed. Implementation puts the plan into action, and evaluation assesses its effectiveness, potentially restarting the cycle if needed. This order ensures a logical flow from data collection to outcome review, optimizing patient care. The other options disrupt this sequence: starting with diagnosing or planning before assessing lacks foundational data, while placing evaluating before key steps like planning or implementing skips critical actions. Only assessing, diagnosing, planning, implementing, and evaluating follows the established, evidence-based progression used universally in nursing practice.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: Competence in nursing interventions requires knowledge (understanding theory and evidence), function (applying that knowledge practically), and specific skills (technical abilities like IV insertion). These three areas ensure a nurse can deliver safe, effective care tailored to patient needs. Leadership anatomy and skills is nonsensical leadership matters, but anatomy isn't a relevant term here, and it's not a trio with skills alone. Experience, advanced education, and skills include valuable elements, but experience isn't a core competency area; it enhances the trio, while advanced education overlaps with knowledge. Skills, leadership, and function mix unrelated concepts leadership is broader than intervention execution. Knowledge, function, and specific skills form a cohesive framework: knowing what to do, how to do it, and performing it proficiently, aligning with nursing standards for competent practice across diverse scenarios.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Maslow's hierarchy ranks physiological needs air, water, food as the most basic, essential for survival. Without these, higher needs (e.g., esteem) can't be met e.g., a hypoxic patient prioritizes breathing over relationships. Physical and psychological isn't a Maslow tier; it's vague, blending levels. Self-actualization, the top, involves fulfillment, reliant on all prior needs. Love and belonging, third-tier, depends on physiological and safety stability. In nursing, physiological needs like oxygen take precedence (e.g., stabilizing vitals before counseling), reflecting Maslow's logic: survival underpins all else, making this the most basic need driving care priorities.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The oxygen reservoir bag in a partial re-breathing mask stores oxygen, allowing the client to re-breathe the first third of exhaled air rich in oxygen, low in CO2 mixed with supplemental O2. This boosts FiO2 (40-60%) cost-effectively, ideal for moderate hypoxia (e.g., pneumonia). Encouraging CO2 re-breathing risks hypercapnia, opposite to intent. Reducing FiO2 contradicts the mask's purpose enhancing oxygen delivery. Precise FiO2 control fits non-rebreathing masks, not partial, which varies slightly. The re-breathing mechanism optimizes oxygen use, making this the correct function per respiratory care standards.
