Question 1 of 5
Why has there been an increase in the number of acute and chronically ill people residingin the community who need professional nursing care?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale:
Correct
Answer: A - Shorter length of stay in long-term care facilities
Rationale: Shorter stays in long-term care facilities mean patients are discharged sooner, leading to more individuals with acute and chronic illnesses needing nursing care in the community. This trend results in an increased demand for professional nursing care outside of traditional care settings.
Summary:
Choice B (Increase in ambulatory surgery) does not directly relate to the increase in the number of ill people residing in the community, as ambulatory surgery focuses on outpatient procedures.
Choice C (Decrease in the use of outpatient clinics) would actually lead to fewer individuals seeking care in the community, thus not explaining the increase in nursing care needs.
Choice D (Increase in length of stay in emergency departments) is unlikely to result in more individuals needing professional nursing care in the community, as emergency departments typically deal with acute issues that are either resolved or require hospitalization.
