Ans: A

Feedback:
Preventing illness through screening and promotion of health activities is one of the goals of
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v
managed care. Improved training of healthcare professionals is the priority for international
v v v v v v v v v v v v
health and not the goal of managed care. Eliminating health disparities between the
v v v v v v v v v v v v v
segments of population is a goal of Healthy People 2020. Providing hospiceor home hospice
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v
care is only for terminally ill clients.

2. In an effort to cut costs, hospitals have instituted many changes. Which of these
v v v v v v v v v v v v v
cost-cutting factors is most likely to jeopardize the quality of care?
v v v v v v v v v v v
A) Using unlicensed assistive personnel v v v
B) Increasing numbers of clients in hospitals v v v v v
C) Not devoting enough time to the client v v v v v v
D) The rise of medical care costs in healthcare systems v v v v v v v v
Ans: A
v v
Feedback:
Hospitals are using unlicensed assistive personnel to perform some duties practical and
v v v v v v v v v v v
registered nurses once provided. Many are concerned that the use of unlicensed assistive
v v v v v v v v v v v v v
personnel will jeopardize the quality of care. Increasing numbers of clients in hospitals, not
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v
devoting enough time to the client, or the rise of medical costs are less likely to jeopardize
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v
the quality of care.

v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v

v v v v v v
Ans: B

Feedback:
Clients adapt physically, emotionally, and socially, enabling them to maintain comfort,
v v v v v v v v v v
stability, and self-expression. Clients with chronic illness can achieve a high level of
v v v v v v v v v v v v v
wellness and experience high quality of life. Marriage is an aspect of quality of life butdoes
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v
not define the quality of the client's life. All clients experience various states of health and
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v
illness.

such as eating a diet high in fiber. Illness prevention includes identifying risk factors such as
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v
hypertension. Wellness is the balance of total well-being.

v v v v v v v v v v v v v
effects. Some of the 2012 goals include reducing the risk of
v v v v v v v v v v v
healthcare-associated infections. Patient safety indicators reflect the quality of care in v v v v v v v v v v
hospitals but focus on potentially avoidable complications. Prevention indicators identify
v v v v v v v v v v
hospital admissions that could be avoided through high-quality outpatient care.Inpatient
v v v v v v v v v v v
