MULTIPLE CHOICE r
1. Which best describes the primary reason that Americans are concerned about health care?
r r r r r r r r r r r r
a. Politicians are discussing how to improve health care. r r r r r r r
b. The media has provided mixed messages about the health care system.
r r r r r r r r r r
c. Our national health care costs keep increasing. r r r r r r
d. The new health care system offers free services to Americans.
r r r r r r r r r
ANS: C r
The primary reason for the focus on health care is the constantly increasing costs, which cannot be
r r r r r r r r r r r r r r r r r
sustained. The costs of caring for the sick accounted for the majority of escalating health care dolla
r r r r r r r r r r r r r r r r
rs, which increased from 5.7% of the gross domestic product in 1965 to 17.8% in 2015. Politicians
r r r r r r r r r r r r r r r r r
and the media both influence Americans’ perceptions about health care; however, they are not the
r r r r r r r r r r r r r r r
primary reason why Americans are concerned. The new health care system will change the health c
r r r r r r r r r r r r r r r
are access and availability, but will not necessarily be offering any free services to Americans.

c. Nurses are the largest segment of health care providers. r r r r r r r r
d. Nurses are the only group that is employed both inside and outside of hospitals.
r r r r r r r r r r r r r
ANS: C r
As the largest segment of health care providers, nurses are informed about the current health care s

ystem and all the problems that result from people not seeking care until they are desperately ill. Nu
r r r r r r r r r r r r r r r r r
rses, as the American Nurses Association (ANA) emphasize, usually believe that health care is a ri
r r r r r r r r r r r r r r r
ght, not a privilege. Therefore, nurses, whose work is central to our current health care delivery sys
r r r r r r r r r r r r r r r r
tem, can also be instrumental in working politically to create a health care delivery system that will
r r r r r r r r r r r r r r r r r
meet health needs. While nurses are in several current TV series and are employed both inside and
r r r r r r r r r r r r r r r r r
outside of hospitals, physicians and other health care providers are as well. Nurses are often manag
r r r r r r r r r r r r r r r
ers, but managers often have other backgrounds, such as business administration.

r r r r r r r r r r
a. There is a trend toward consolidation of health care into large central medical cent

ers.
b. There is an increased emphasis on community-based health care.r r r r r r r r
c. There is an obvious need to decrease health care costs by cutting positions.
