Which of the following is a fundamental principle of the Canada Health Act (1984)? • A. Profit-driven healthcare delivery • B. Private insurance for all services • C. Universality • D. User fees for all medical services Answer: C Rationale: The Canada Health Act (1984) establishes five fundamental principles: public administration, comprehensiveness, universality, portability, and accessibility. Universality ensures that all insured residents have equal access to health services on uniform terms and conditions, without discrimination based on income, age, or health status. Options A, B, and D contradict the principles of the Act, which prohibits user fees and extra-billing while promoting publicly administered, non-profit healthcare delivery. DIF: Knowledge REF: Chapter 1 OBJ: 1 KEY: Canada Health Act MSC: Health Policy ________________________________________ 2. Which level of government in Canada is primarily responsible for the delivery of healthcare services? • A. Federal government • B. Provincial and territorial governments • C. Municipal governments • D. Regional health authorities only Answer: B Rationale: Under the Canadian Constitution, provincial and territorial governments bear primary responsibility for the administration and delivery of healthcare services. They are responsible for planning, financing, and evaluating healthcare services, as well as managing hospitals, physician services, and other health programs. The federal government provides funding through the Canada Health Transfer and sets national standards under the Canada Health Act but does not directly deliver healthcare services. DIF: Comprehension REF: Chapter 1 OBJ: 2 KEY: Government responsibility MSC: Health Policy ________________________________________ 3. The Canada Health Act (1984) prohibits which of the following practices? • A. Public health promotion • B. Extra-billing and user fees • C. Preventive healthcare services • D. Interprofessional collaboration Answer: B Rationale: The Canada Health Act specifically prohibits extra-billing (charging patients amounts beyond what is covered by provincial health insurance) and user fees for insured health services. These prohibitions are designed to maintain equity and accessibility in the Canadian healthcare system. The Act does not prohibit public health promotion, preventive services, or interprofessional collaboration, which are encouraged components of the healthcare system. DIF: Knowledge REF: Chapter 1 OBJ: 1 KEY: Canada Health Act MSC: Health Policy ________________________________________ 4. Which of the following is a major challenge currently facing the Canadian health care system? • A. Declining life expectancy • B. An aging population • C. Decreasing healthcare costs • D. Oversupply of healthcare providers Answer: B Rationale: Canada faces multiple interrelated challenges that directly impact nursing practice and patient safety, including an aging population with increased life expectancy leading to higher prevalence of chronic illness, multimorbidity, and polypharmacy. Other challenges include concerns about patient safety, service delivery, fiscal constraints, and the high cost of new technology and drugs. Declining life expectancy and decreasing costs are not current realities; rather, costs are increasing and life expectancy continues to rise. DIF: Comprehension REF: Chapter 1 OBJ: 3 KEY: Health system challenges MSC: Healthcare Delivery ________________________________________ 5. The Canadian health care system is best described as which type of system? • A. A fully privatized system • B. A publicly funded, privately delivered system • C. A fully socialized system • D. An insurance-based American-style system Answer: B Rationale: Canada's healthcare system is publicly funded through taxation but privately delivered. The government acts as the single payer (public funding) for medically necessary hospital and physician services, but healthcare providers are generally not government employees (private delivery). This distinguishes Canada's system from fully socialized systems (where government both funds and delivers care) and fully privatized systems (where both funding and delivery are private).
