Rationale: Healthy People sets evidence-based goals to boost U.S. health, and reducing adolescent marijuana use is a key objective cutting substance use lowers risks like addiction or mental health issues, aligning with illness prevention and youth wellness. More nurses or hospital funding, while supportive, aren't direct objectives workforce and economics underpin goals, not define them. Reducing insurance companies isn't a target; access expansion is. Marijuana reduction tied to data showing rising teen use fits the initiative's focus on behavior and health outcomes, guiding nursing to educate or screen in schools. This objective reflects nursing's preventive role, tackling a measurable public health issue with broad impact, distinct from structural fixes, and rooted in decades of Healthy People's population-focused vision.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Embolization post-catheterization (e.g., limb pain, pallor) requires immediate provider notification (A) for intervention like thrombolysis. Compress (B), fluids (C), or monitoring (D) are secondary. A is correct.

Rationale: Primary nursing assigns one nurse to oversee a patient's entire care, ensuring continuity and personalized attention from admission to discharge. Team nursing divides tasks among a group, reducing individual accountability. Home health nursing occurs outside hospitals, and critical care nursing focuses on acute conditions, not necessarily continuity. Primary nursing fosters trust, consistency, and tailored interventions, improving outcomes by aligning care with the patient's unique needs over time.
