MULTIPLE CHOICE

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


health care?
u u


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



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



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


. u

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




ANS: C u




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



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



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



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



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



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



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



offering any free services to Americans.

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



system. Why is thisinvolvement important?
u u u u u u



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




visible in American I G B.C M u u
U U U


mediNa. R
u u uu




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



health care system.
u u u



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


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


hospitals.
u




ANS: C u




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



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



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



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



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



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



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



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



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



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



administration.
