MULTIPLE CHOICE

1. Which best describes the primary reason that Americans are concerned about
h h h h h h h h h h


health care?
h h


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



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



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


. h

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




ANS: C h




The primary reason for the focus on health care is the constantly increasing costs,
h h h h h h h h h h h h h



which cannot be sustained. The costs of caring for the sick accounted for the
h h h h h h h h h h h h h h



majority of escalating health care dollars, which increased from 5.7% of the
h h h h h h h h h h h h



gross domestic product in 1965 to 17.8% in 2015. Politicians and the media both
h h h h h h h h h h h h h h



influence Americans‘ perceptions about health care; however, they are not the
h h h h h h h h h h h



primary reason why Americans are concerned. The new health care system will
h h h h h h h h h h h h



change the health care access and availability, but will not necessarily be
h h h h h h h h h h h h



offering any free services to Americans.

2. A nurse has begun to lobby with politicians for changes to the health care
h h h h h h h h h h h h h



system. Why is thisinvolvement important?
h h h h h h



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




visible in American I G B.C M h h

mediNa. R

b. Nurses are primarily responUsibS
le foNr mTanagingOthe various units in our
h h h h h h h h h



health care system.
h h h



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


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


hospitals.
h




ANS: C h




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



current health care system and all the problems that result from people not
h h h h h h h h h h h h h



seeking care until they are desperately ill. Nurses, as the American Nurses
h h h h h h h h h h h h



Association (ANA) emphasize, usually believe that health care is a right, not a
h h h h h h h h h h h h h



privilege. Therefore, nurses, whose work is central to our current health care
h h h h h h h h h h h h



delivery system, can also be instrumental in working politically to create a
h h h h h h h h h h h h



health care delivery system that will meet health needs. While nurses are in
h h h h h h h h h h h h h



several current TV series and are employed both inside and outside of hospitals,
h h h h h h h h h h h h h



physicians and other health care providers are as well. Nurses are often
h h h h h h h h h h h h



managers, but managers often have other backgrounds, such as business
h h h h h h h h h h



administration.
