Tradition vs. Change Test Bank
MULTIPLE CHOICE
1. Which of the following has influenced an emphasis on
primary care education in medical schools?
a. Changes in Medicare
reimbursement methods
recommended in 1992
b. Competition from
nonphysicians desiring to
meet primary care shortages
c. The need for monopolistic
control in the marketplace
of primary outpatient care
d. The recognition that
nonphysicians have variable
success providing primary
care
ANS: A
The Physician Payment Review Commission in 1992 directly
increased financial reimbursement to clinicians who provide
primary care. Coupled with a shortage of primary care
providers, this incentive led medical schools to place
greater emphasis on preparing primary care physicians.
Competition from nonphysicians increased coincidentally as
professionals from other disciplines stepped up to meet the
needs.
Nonphysicians have had increasing success at providing
primary care and have been shown to be safe and effective.
DIF: Cognitive Level: Remembering (Knowledge) REF: 2
2. Which of the following statements is true about the prescribing
practices of physicians?
a. Older physicians tend to
prescribe more appropriate
medications than younger
physicians.
b. Antibiotic medications
remain in the top five
classifications of
medications prescribed.
c. Most physicians rely on a
“therapeutic armamentarium”
that consists of less than
100 drug preparations per
physician.
