Chapter 01: Health: A Community View x x x x x

1. Which best describes the primary reason that Americans are concerned about health care?
x x x x x x x x x x x x




a. Politicians are discussing how to improve health care. x x x x x x x




b. The media has provided mixed messages about the health care system.
x x x x x x x x x x




c. Our national health care costs keep increasing.
x x x x x x




d. The new health care system offers free services to Americans.
x x x x x x x x x




ANSWER: C x




The primary reason for the focus on health care is the constantly increasing costs, which c annot
x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x


be sustained. The costs of caring for the sick accounted for the majority of escalatin g health care
x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x


dollars, which increased from 5.7% of the gross domestic product in 1965 to 17.8% in 2015.
x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x


Politicians and the media both influence Americans‘ perceptions about heal th care; however,
x x x x x x x x x x x x


they are not the primary reason why Americans are concerned. The new h ealth care system will
x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x


change the health care access and availability, but will not necessaril y be offering any free
x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x


services to Americans.

care system.
x x




c. Nurses are the largest segment of health care providers.
x x x x x x x x




d. Nurses are the only group that is employed both inside and outside of hospitals.
x x x x x x x x x x x x x




ANSWER: C x




As the largest segment of health care providers, nurses are informed about the current healt h
x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x


care system and all the problems that result from people not seeking care until they are d
x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x


esperately ill. Nurses, as the American Nurses Association (ANA) emphasize, usually belie ve
x x x x x x x x x x x x x


that health care is a right, not a privilege. Therefore, nurses, whose work is central to o ur current
x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x


health care delivery system, can also be instrumental in working politically to cr eate a health
x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x


care delivery system that will meet health needs. While nurses are in several current TV series
x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x


and are employed both inside and outside of hospitals, physicians and oth er health care
