TEST BANK INTRODUCTORY MEDICAL SURGICALNURSING 12TH EDITION TIMBY SMITH COMPLETE
1. CHAPTER 1
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?
A) Preventing illness through screening and promotion of health activities
B) Improving training of healthcare professionals
C) Eliminating health disparities between segments of the population
D) Providing hospice or home hospice care
Ans: A
Feedback:
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 2020. Providing hospice
or home hospice care is only for terminally ill clients.
2. 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?
A) Using unlicensed assistive personnel
B) Increasing numbers of clients in hospitals
C) Not devoting enough time to the client
D) The rise of medical care costs in healthcare systems
Ans: A
Feedback:
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.
3. Since losing his right leg years ago, Mr. Smith and his wife have formed a community
walking group to raise money for the homeless in his area. Which of the following has
contributed to him being viewed as “healthy”?
A) The client is married and is moving on.
B) The client is experiencing high quality of life within the limits of the physical
condition.
C) The client is facing various states of health and illness.
D) The client is physiologically and psychologically stable.
Ans: B
Feedback:
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 of quality of life but
does not define the quality of the client's life. All clients experience various states of
health and illness.

,4. 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?
A) Health promotion
B) Health maintenance
C) Illness prevention
D) Wellness
Ans: B
Feedback:
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.
5. A client complaining of bloody urine has scheduled an appointment with a family
practitioner. What type of care is the client receiving?
A) Tertiary
B) Secondary
C) Skilled nursing care
D) Primary
Ans: D
Feedback:
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.

,6. The hospital is having a problem with healthcare-associated infections. A committee has
been established to study the problem and make recommendations. The nurse working
on the committee knows that this work addresses what?
A) Inpatient quality indicators
B) Prevention quality indicators
C) National Patient Safety Goals
D) Patient safety indicators
Ans: C
Feedback:
The Joint Commission has established National Patient Safety Goals that are updated
annually. These safety goals have changed how patients are identified and prevent
adverse effects. Some of the 2012 goals include reducing the risk of
healthcare-associated infections. Patient safety indicators reflect the quality of care in
hospitals but focus on potentially avoidable complications. Prevention indicators
identify hospital admissions that could be avoided through high-quality outpatient care.
Inpatient indicators reflect quality of care inside the hospital.
7. After hip surgery, a client is admitted to the rehabilitation hospital. What type of care is
the client receiving?
A) Secondary
B) Tertiary
C) Rehabilitation
D) Primary
Ans: B
Feedback:
Hospitals where specialized technology is available provide tertiary care. Primary care
is the initial contact that a client has, such as an appointment with a family practitioner.
Secondary care includes referrals for additional testing. Rehabilitation is aimed at
restoring a person to his or her fullest ability.

, 8. An older man has been sick for 3 weeks but will not seek medical help even though he
is able to get to the doctor's office. The client does not know what his insurance will
cover. The client has many medical bills from treatments not covered and does not want
to be faced with more. Why is this client waiting to obtain medical treatment?
A) Cost
B) Language
C) Accessibility
D) Culture
Ans: A
Feedback:
Many groups, such as ethnic minorities and older adults, are underserved; many do not
seek early services because they cannot afford to pay for them. Accessibility is not an
issue because the client is able to get to the office. No cultural or language barrier is
mentioned.
9. The Healthy People 2020 initiative targets the improvement of health for all. In addition
to eliminating health disparities, what are the broad goals of this plan?
A) Increasing technological innovations
B) Preventing treatable problems
C) Applying a systematic approach to health improvement
D) Increasing the quality and length of a healthy life
Ans: D
Feedback:
Two broad goals of the Healthy People 2020 initiative are to increase quality and years
of healthy life and eliminate health disparities. Healthy People 2020 initiatives will help
with treatable problems but will not prevent problems. The initiative does not apply a
systematic approach to health improvement or increase technological innovations.
