,1. CHAPTER 1 v




Managed care organizations are insurers that carefully plan and closely supervise the
v v v v v v v v v v v




distribution of healthcare services. What is one of the goals of managed care?
v v v v v v v v v v v v v




A) Preventing illness through screening and promotion of health activities v v v v v v v v




B) Improving training of healthcare professionals v v v v




C) Eliminating health disparities between segments of the population v v v v v v v




D) Providing hospice or home hospice care v v v v v




Ans: A
v v




Feedback:
Preventing illness through screening and promotion of health activities is one of the goals of
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v




managed care. Improved training of healthcare professionals is the priority for international
v v v v v v v v v v v v




health and not the goal of managed care. Eliminating health disparities between the
v v v v v v v v v v v v v




segments of population is a goal of Healthy People 2020. Providing hospiceor home hospice
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v




care is only for terminally ill clients.

2. In an effort to cut costs, hospitals have instituted many changes. Which of these
v v v v v v v v v v v v v




cost-cutting factors is most likely to jeopardize the quality of care?
v v v v v v v v v v v




A) Using unlicensed assistive personnel v v v




B) Increasing numbers of clients in hospitals v v v v v




C) Not devoting enough time to the client v v v v v v




D) The rise of medical care costs in healthcare systems v v v v v v v v




Ans: A
v v




Feedback:
Hospitals are using unlicensed assistive personnel to perform some duties practical and
v v v v v v v v v v v




registered nurses once provided. Many are concerned that the use of unlicensed assistive
v v v v v v v v v v v v v




personnel will jeopardize the quality of care. Increasing numbers of clients in hospitals, not
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v




devoting enough time to the client, or the rise of medical costs are less likely to jeopardize
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v




the quality of care.

3. Since losing his right leg years ago, Mr. Smith and his wife have formed a community
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v




walking group to raise money for the homeless in his area. Which of the following has
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v




contributed to him being viewed as “healthy”?
v v v v v v v

B) The client is experiencing high quality of life within the limits of the physical
v v v v v v v v v v v v v




condition.
v




C) The client is facing various states of health and illness.
v v v v v v v v v




D) The client is physiologically and psychologically stable.
v v v v v v




Ans: B
v v




Feedback:
Clients adapt physically, emotionally, and socially, enabling them to maintain comfort,
v v v v v v v v v v




stability, and self-expression. Clients with chronic illness can achieve a high level of
v v v v v v v v v v v v v




wellness and experience high quality of life. Marriage is an aspect of quality of life butdoes
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v




not define the quality of the client's life. All clients experience various states of health and
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v




illness.

of a health maintenance activity. Health promotion strategies are used to enhance health,
v v v v v v v v v v v v v




such as eating a diet high in fiber. Illness prevention includes identifying risk factors such as
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v




hypertension. Wellness is the balance of total well-being.

D) Patientsafety indicators v v




Ans: C

Feedback:
The Joint Commission has established National Patient Safety Goals that are updated
v v v v v v v v v v v




annually. These safety goals have changed how patients are identified and prevent adverse
v v v v v v v v v v v v v




effects. Some of the 2012 goals include reducing the risk of
v v v v v v v v v v v




healthcare-associated infections. Patient safety indicators reflect the quality of care in v v v v v v v v v v




hospitals but focus on potentially avoidable complications. Prevention indicators identify
v v v v v v v v v v




hospital admissions that could be avoided through high-quality outpatient care.Inpatient
v v v v v v v v v v v




indicators reflect quality of care inside the hospital.
