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?

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.
