MULTIPLE CHOICE
1. A small, rural hospital is part of an Accountable Care Organization (ACO) and is
designated as a Level 1 ACO. What is part of this designation?
a. Bonuses based on achievement of benchmarks
b. Care coordination for chronic diseases
c. Standards for minimum cash reserves
d. Strict requirements for financial reporting
ANS: A
A Level 1 ACO has the least amount of financial risk and requirements, but
receives shared savings bonuses based on achievement of benchmarks for
quality measures and expenditures. Care coordination and minimum cash
reserves standards are part of Level 2 ACO requirements. Level 3 ACOs have
strict requirements for financial reporting.
2. What was an important finding of the Advisory Board survey of 2014 about
primary care preferences of patients?
a. Associations with area hospitals
b. Costs of ambulatory care
c. Ease of access to care
d. The ratio of providers to patients
ANS: C NURSINGTB.COM
As part of the 2014 survey, the Advisory Board learned that patients desired 24/7
access to care, walk-in settings and the ability to be seen within 30 minutes, and
care that is close to home. Associations with hospitals, costs of care, and the ratio
of providers to patients were not part of these results.
MULTIPLE RESPONSE
1. Which assessments of care providers are performed as part of the value-based
purchasing (VBP) initiative? (Select all that apply.)
a. Appraising costs per case of care for Medicare patients
b. Assessing patients’ satisfaction with hospital care
c. Evaluating available evidence to guide clinical care guidelines
d. Monitoring mortality rates of all patients with pneumonia
e. Requiring advanced IT standards and minimum cash reserves
ANS: A, B, D
Value-based purchasing looks at five domain areas of processes of care, including
efficiency of care (cost per case), experience of care (patient satisfaction
measures), and outcomes of care (mortality rates for certain conditions).
Evaluation of evidence to guide clinical care is part of evidence-based practice.
The requirements for IT standards and financial status are part of Accountable
Care Organization standards.

1. What is the purpose of Level II research?
a. To define characteristics of interest of groups of patients
b. To demonstrate the effectiveness of an intervention or treatment
c. To describe relationships among characteristics or variables
d. To evaluate the nature of relationships between two variables
ANS: C
Level II research is concerned with describing the relationships among
characteristics or variables. Level I research is conducted to define the
characteristics of groups of patients. Level II research evaluates the nature of
the relationships between variables. Level IV research is conducted to
demonstrate the effectiveness of interventions or treatments.
2. Which is the most appropriate research design for a Level III research study?
a. Epidemiological studies
b. Experimental design
c. Qualitative studies
d. Randomized clinical trials

The experimental design is the most appropriate design for a Level III study.

II studies. Qualitative designs are
useful
for Level I studies. Randomized clinical trials are used for Level IV studies.
3. What is the purpose of clinical research trials in the spectrum of translational research?
a. Adoption of interventions and clinical practices into routine clinical care
b. Determination of the basis of disease and various treatment options
c. Examination of safety and effectiveness of various interventions
d. Exploration of fundamental mechanisms of biology, disease, or behavior
ANS: C
Clinical research trials are concerned with determining the safety and
effectiveness of interventions. Adoption of interventions and practices is part of
clinical implementation. Determination of the basis of disease and treatment
options is part of the preclinical research phase. Exploration of the fundamental
mechanisms of biology, disease, or behavior is part of the basic research stage.

1. Which statement made by a health care provider demonstrates the most
appropriate understanding for the goal of a performance report?
a. “This process allows me to critique the performance of the rest of the staff.”
b. “Most organizations require staff to undergo a performance evaluation yearly.”
c. “It is hard to be personally criticized but that’s how we learn to change.”
d. “The comments should help me improve my management skills.”
ANS: D
The goal of the performance report is to provide guidance to staff in the areas of
professional development, mentoring, and leadership development. A peer review
is written by others who perform similar skills (peers). The remaining options may
be true but do not provide evidence of understanding of the goal of this
professional requirement.
MULTIPLE RESPONSE
1. Which assessment question would a health care provider ask when engaging in
the previsitstage of the new model for primary care? (Select all that apply.)
a. “Are you ready to discuss some of the community resources that are available?”
b. “Are you experiencing anNyUsid

c. “Do you anticipate any problems with adhering to your treatment plan?”
d. “Are you ready to discuss the results of your laboratory tests?”
e. “Do you have any questions about the lab tests that have been ordered for you?”
ANS: B, C, E
The nursing responsibilities in the previsit stage include assessing the patient’s
tolerance of prescribed medications, understanding of existing treatment plan,
and education about required lab testing. The primary care provider is
responsible for screening lab data and discussing community resources during
the actual visit.
