a. Accredited
b. Approved
c. Provisional

a. It includes all states.
b. It affects the illness of patients.
c. Insurance companies are not involved.
d. The major goal is to achieve optimal levels of health care.
ANS: D
The nurse must recognize that in the health care delivery system, the major goal is to achieve
optimal levels of health care. The health care system consists of a network of agencies,
facilities, and providers involved with health care in a specified geographic area. Insurance
companies do have involvement in the health care system. The illness of patients is not
necessarily affected by the health care system.

3. What is required by the health care team to identify the needs of a patient and to design care to
meet those needs?
a. The Kardex
b. The health care provider’s order sheet
c. An individualized care plan
d. The nurse’s notes

needs of the individual patient. The Kardex, health care provider’s order sheet, and nurse’s
notes do not identify the needs of the patient nor are they designed to assist all members of the
health care team to meet those needs.

4. Patient care emphasis on wellness, rather than illness, begins as a result of:
a. increased education concerning causes of illness.
b. improved insurance payments.
c. decentralized care centers.
d. increased number of health care givers.
ANS: A
The acute awareness of preventive medicine has resulted in today’s emphasis on education
about issues such as smoking, heart disease, drug and alcohol abuse, weight control, and
mental health and wellness promotion activities. This preventive education has resulted in an
emphasis on wellness, rather than illness. Improved insurance payments, decentralized care
centers, and increased numbers of health care givers did not influence an emphasis on
wellness.

5. What is the most effective process to ensure that the care plan is meeting the needs of the
patient?
a. Documentation
b. Communication
c. Evaluation
d. Planning
ANS: B
Communication is the primary essential component among the health care team to evaluate
and modify the care plan. Documentation, evaluation, and planning are not primary essential
components to ensure the care plan is meeting the needs of the patient.

6. How does an interdisciplinary approach to patient treatment enhance care?
a. By improving efficiency of care
b. By reducing the number of caregivers
c. By preventing the fragmentation of patient care
d. By shortening hospital stay

An interdisciplinary approach prevents fragmentation of care. An interdisciplinary approach
does not improve the efficiency of care, reduce the number of caregivers, or shorten hospital
stay.
