Chapter 1, The Health Care System
1. A group of nursing assistant students are contrasting the various names of medical
professionals over the years. The group discovered that a “family doctor” of their
grandparent’s generation will most likely now be referred to as which name?
A. An in-house health care provider
B. A general practitioner
C. A community practitioner
D. A general consultant
ANS: B
Rationale: The term “family doctor” has been largely replaced by “general practitioner” or
“family physician.” The other terms are not used to describe a physician.
PTS: 1 REF: Page: 3 | Header: Health Care Delivery, Past and Present
OBJ: 1 TOP: Chapter 1: The Health Care System
NOT: Multiple Choice
2. The nursing assistant has learned that health care should focus on the entire individual and
not just the person’s physical condition or disease. Which approach is the nursing assistant
prioritizing when providing care?
A. holistic
B. comprehensive
C. focused
D. general
ANS: A
Rationale: A holistic, humanistic approach focuses on the care of the whole person, physical
and emotional. The best aspects of the care provided by the old-fashioned “family doctor”
(i.e., the doctor’s familiarity with the person as an individual) are combined with
modern-day availability of specialized care when needed. Holistic care could be
comprehensive, but that term is not used to describe this concept. Focused care usually
occurs in the acute care setting or hospital where the staff is prioritizing treatment to help
the individual recover from a specific disease or condition. General is not a common term
used to describe an approach of health care.
PTS: 1 REF: Page: 4 | Header: Health Care Delivery, Past and Present
OBJ: 1 TOP: Chapter 1: The Health Care System
NOT: Multiple Choice
3. The nursing assistant is researching options for employment. Which of the following health
care organizations is a possible option for this nursing assistant? Select all that apply.
A. Drop- in center
B. Homeless shelter
C. Community center
D. Assisted-living facility
E. Long-term care facility
ANS: D, E
