MULTIPLE CHOICE u




1. Which of the following must the patient care technician (PCT) recognize regarding the healthcare
u u u u u u u u u u u u u


delivery system?
u u




a. It includes all states.
u u u




b. It affects the illness of patients.
u u u u u




c. Insurance companies are not involved. u u u u




d. The major goal is to achieve optimal levels of healthcare.
u u u u u u u u u




CORRECT ANSWER: D u u




The PCT must recognize that in the healthcare delivery system, the major goal is to achieve optimal
u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u


levels of healthcare. The healthcare system consists of a network of agencies, facilities, and providers
u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u


involved with healthcare in a specified geographic area. Insurance companies do have involvement in
u u u u u u u u u u u u u u


the healthcare system. The illness of patients is not necessarily affected by the healthcare system.
u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u




OBJ: 1 u




2. What is required by the healthcare team to identify the needs of a patient and to design care to
u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u


meet those needs?
u u u




a. The white board u u




b. The nurse’s notes u u




c. The physician’s order sheet
u u u




d. An individualized care plan
u u u




u CORRECT ANSWER: D u u




An individualized care plan involves all healthcare workers and outlines care to meet the needs of the
u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u


individual patient. The white board, physician’s order sheet, and nurse’s notes do not identify the needs
u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u


of the patient nor are they designed to assist all members of the healthcare team to meet those needs.
u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u
