Ch. 1 — Purposes of Health Care Agencies
Stem
A resident asks you why the facility offers both short-term
rehab and long-term care beds. The nursing assistant knows
different services serve different patient needs. Which response
best explains the facility’s purpose in terms the resident will
understand?
,A. “Short-term rehab is for people who will leave soon; long-
term care is for people who stay.”
B. “Short-term rehab is cheaper than long-term care, so people
choose it if they can.”
C. “Long-term care is only for people who have no family to
visit.”
D. “Both types are the same; placement is random depending
on bed availability.”
Correct answer: A
Rationales
• Correct (A): Simple, accurate explanation distinguishing
temporary rehabilitation from ongoing long-term care;
appropriate for an NA to explain.
• Incorrect (B): Cost comparisons are complex and not
appropriate NA teaching; it’s misleading.
• Incorrect (C): False and stigmatizing; family presence is not
the sole criterion for long-term care.
• Incorrect (D): Incorrect; placement is based on patient
needs, not random bed assignment.
Teaching point
Short-term = rehabilitation; long-term = ongoing residential
care.

Ch. 1 — Types of Agencies
Stem
You are assigned to a patient who was discharged from the
hospital to receive wound care at home. The charge nurse asks
you to explain why this agency is called “home health.” What is
the best NA explanation to give a family member?
A. “Home health means the care team provides services in the
patient’s home.”
B. “Home health only provides bedside companionship and no
medical care.”
C. “Home health nurses live in the patient’s home during
treatment.”
D. “Home health is only for people who refuse to go to a clinic.”
Correct answer: A
Rationales
• Correct (A): Accurate, clear description of home health
agency services; appropriate for NA to explain.
, • Incorrect (B): False—home health provides clinical
services, not just companionship.
• Incorrect (C): Incorrect and unrealistic; staff do not live in
patients’ homes.
• Incorrect (D): Incorrect; home health is chosen for
need/benefit, not refusal of clinic care.
Teaching point
Home health delivers nursing and therapy services in patients’
homes.
