My first purchase went well, but after 2, it was misleading and I was not getting the right information and couldn't get a refund. Purchased again and it was same exact material. I will look for another website now

a. It includes all states.
b. It affects the illness of patients.
c. Insurance companies are not involved.
d. The major goal is to achieve optimal levels of health care.
ANS: D
The nurse must recognize that in the health care delivery system, the major goal is to
achieve optimal levels of health care. The health care system consists of a network of
agencies, facilities, and providers involved with health care in a specified geographic area.
Insurance companies do have involvement in the health care system. The illness of patients
is not necessarily affected by the health care system.

to meet those needs?
a. The Kardex

d. The nurse’s notes
ANS: C
An individualized care plan involves all health care workers and outlines care to meet the
needs of the individual patient. The Kardex, health care provider’s order sheet, and nurse’s
notes do not identify the needs of the patient nor are they designed to assist all members of
the health care team to meet those needs.

4. Patient care emphasis on wellness, rather than illness, begins as a result of:
a. increased education concerning causes of illness.
b. improved insurance payments.
c. decentralized care centers.
d. increased number of health care givers.
ANS: A
The acute awareness of preventive medicine has resulted in today’s emphasis on education
about issues such as smoking, heart disease, drug and alcohol abuse, weight control, and
mental health and wellness promotion activities. This preventive education has resulted in
an emphasis on wellness, rather than illness. Improved insurance payments, decentralized
care centers, and increased numbers of health care givers did not influence an emphasis on
wellness.

patient?
a. Documentation
b. Communication
c. Evaluation
d. Planning
ANS: B
Communication is the primary essential component among the health care team to evaluate
and modify the care plan. Documentation, evaluation, and planning are not primary essential
components to ensure the care plan is meeting the needs of the patient.

6. How does an interdisciplinary approach to patient treatment enhance care?
a. By improving efficiency of care
b. By reducing the number of caregivers
c. By preventing the fragmentation of patient care

stay.

a. Clara Barton
b. Linda Richards
c. Dorothea Dix
d. Florence Nightingale

fought for sanitary conditions, fresh air, and general improvement in the patient
environment. Clara Barton developed the American Red Cross in 1881. Linda Richards is
known as the first trained nurse in America, was responsible for the development of the first
nursing and hospital records, and is credited with the development of our present-day
documentation system. Dorothea Dix was the pioneer crusader for elevation of standards of
care for the mentally ill and superintendent of female nurses of the Union Army.
9. What document identifies the roles and responsibilities of the LPN/LVN?
a. NLN Accreditation Standards
b. Nurse Practice Act
c. NAPNE Code
d. American Nurses’ Association Code
ANS: B
The LPN/LVN functions under the Nurse Practice Act. NLN Accreditation Standards, the
NAPNE Code, and the American Nurses’ Association Code do not identify the roles and
responsibilities of the LPN/LVN.
, 10. What is a cost-effective delivery of care used by many hospitals that allows the LPN/LVN to
work with the RN to meet the needs of patients?
a. Focused nursing
b. Team nursing
c. Case management
d. Primary nursing
