ul MULTIPLE CHOICE ul




1. A nurse is reviewing changes in healthcare delivery and funding for pediatric populations. Which

b. Decreased number of uninsured children ul ul ul ul

One effect of managed care is that pediatric healthcare delivery has shifted dramatically from the
ul ul ul ul ul ul ul ul ul ul ul ul ul ul




ul acute care setting to the ambulatory setting. The number of hospital beds being used has
ul ul ul ul ul ul ul ul ul ul ul ul ul ul




ul decreased as more care is provided in outpatient and home settings. The number of uninsured
ul ul ul ul ul ul ul ul ul ul ul ul ul ul




ul children in the United States continues to grow. One of the biggest changes in healthcare has been
ul ul ul ul ul ul ul ul ul ul ul ul ul ul ul ul




ul the growth of managed care.
