A nurse manager is participating in the health care organization’s strategic planning committee. Which factor is
the primary driving force and controlling factor in new initiatives this committee might recommend?
1. Cost of care
2. Access to care
3. Availability of care
4. Quality of care
Correct Answer: 1
Rationale 1: While all of the options given are driving forces in today’s health care environment, the cost of
providing care is still the primary issue. Cost of care controls access, availability, and even quality.
Rationale 2: Access to care is controlled by the ability to pay for that access.
Rationale 3: Care will not be available if it cannot be funded.
Rationale 4: Health care providers do not like to correlate quality with cost, but the economic reality is that
quality care must also be funded care.
Global Rationale:
Cognitive Level: Applying
Client Need: Safe Effective Care Environment
Client Need Sub: Management of Care
Nursing/Integrated Concepts: Nursing Process: Planning
Learning Outcome: 1-1: Describe the forces that are changing the health care system.

,2. Regulations brought about by the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) should bring financial
relief to health care consumers.
3. The United States spends more money on health care than any other country.
4. Health care spending in the United States is slowly declining due to passage of bills such as the Patient
Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA).
Correct Answer: 3
Rationale 1: In 2009, health care costs consumed over 17% of the country’s gross domestic product.
Rationale 2: Implementation of PPACA and its regulations have not been formulated.
Rationale 3: The United States spends over $2.5 trillion on health care annually, more than any other country.
Rationale 4: While this act has been passed, it is not operationalized. Health care spending continues to rise.

Question 3
Type: MCSA
A 70-year-old client develops a catheter-induced urinary tract infection. Which statement by the nurse would
indicate to the nurse manager a need for additional understanding of this situation?
1. “I wonder if there was a break of sterility when this catheter was inserted.”
2. “Thankfully we can treat this with an antibiotic.”
3. “This could potentially cost the hospital a lot of money.”
4. “I will talk to my unlicensed assistants about proper urinary catheter care.”
Correct Answer: 2
Rationale 1: Wondering about a break in sterility indicates that the nurse is concerned about the process that
might have contributed to this infection.
Rationale 2: The nurse who focuses on taking care of the results of a potential medical mistake is not accepting
the seriousness of the situation.

, Rationale 3: The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services no longer cover the costs incurred by medical
mistakes. This urinary tract infection could cost the hospital the cost of treatment, including increased length of
stay.
Rationale 4: The nurse has identified that improper care may result in poor outcomes for the client.
Global Rationale:
Cognitive Level: Analyzing
Client Need: Safe Effective Care Environment
Client Need Sub: Management of Care
Nursing/Integrated Concepts: Nursing Process: Evaluation
Learning Outcome: 1-2: Discuss changes in paying for health care.
Question 4
Type: MCMA
Which health care situations reflect the philosophy of quality management as designed by Deming?
Note: Credit will be given only if all correct choices and no incorrect choices are selected.
Standard Text: Select all that apply.
1. A nurse asks visitors to leave because it is after visiting hours.
2. At 2:00 p.m. the nurse orders a lunch tray for a client who has just been removed from NPO status.
3. A nurse tells the manager that a housekeeper’s work is not up to standards.
4. A nurse volunteers to take a Spanish language class to be able to communicate with clients.
5. A nurse who has not made a medication error in two years asks for a salary increase.
Correct Answer: 2,3,4
Rationale 1: The philosophy of quality management is focus on the needs of the consumer. If there is no reason
for the visitors to leave other than it after visiting hours, this is not focused on client need.
Rationale 2: Even though 2:00 p.m. is after “lunchtime,” this nurse is focused on the client’s needs. This is an
example of quality management.
Rationale 3: Quality management empowers the employee to evaluate quality.
