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

2. A nurse has begun to lobby with politicians for changes to the health care

c. Nurses are the largest segment of health care providers. u u u u u u u u
d. Nurses are the only group that is employed both inside and outside of hospitals.
u u u u u u u u u u u u u
ANS: C u
As the largest segment of health care providers, nurses are informed about the
u u u u u u u u u u u u
current health care system and all the problems that result from people not
u u u u u u u u u u u u u
seeking care untilthey are desperately ill. Nurses, as the American Nurses
u u u u u u u u u u u u
Association (ANA) emphasize, usually believe that health care is a right, not a
u u u u u u u u u u u u u
privilege. Therefore, nurses, whose work is central to our current health care delivery
u u u u u u u u u u u u u
system, can also beinstrumental in working politically to create a health care
u u u u u u u u u u u u u
delivery system that will meet health needs. While nurses are in several current
u u u u u u u u u u u u u
TV series and are employed both inside and outside of hospitals, physicians and other
u u u u u u u u u u u u u u
health care providers are as well. Nurses are often managers, but managers
u u u u u u u u u u u u
often have other backgrounds, such as business administration.

b. There is an increased emphasis on community-based health care.
