MULTIPLE CHOICE
1. Which of the following has influenced an emphasis on primary care
education in medical schools?
a. Changes in Medicare
reimbursement methods
b. recommended in 1992
Competition from
nonphysici ans 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.
d. The dominant form of drug
information used by primary care
physicians continues to be that
provided by pharmaceutical
companies.
ANS : D
Even though most physicians claim to place little weight on drug advertisements,
