Chapter 01: Health: A Community View w w w w w




w MULTIPLE CHOICE w




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




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




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




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




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




ANSWER: C w




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


annot be sustained. The costs of caring for the sick accounted for the majority of escalatin g
w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w


health care dollars, which increased from 5.7% of the gross domestic product in 1965 to
w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w


17.8% in 2015.
w w w


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


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


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


free services to Americans.

2. A nurse has begun to lobby with politicians for changes to the health care system. Why
w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w


is t his involvement important?
w w w w w




a. Nurses, as central characters in several popular TV series, are currently
w w w w w w w w w w




ve ry visible in American medi Na .
w w w w w w w w RwlI G B.CM w w




b. Nurses are primarily responUs ibSl e foNr mTanagingOthe various units in our
w w w w w w w w w w w


health care system.
w w w




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




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




ANSWER: C w




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


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


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


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


current health care delivery system, can also be instrumental in working politically to cr eate
w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w


a health care delivery system that will meet health needs. While nurses are in several current
w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w


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