MULTIPLE CHOICE
1. A nurse is reviewing changes in healthcare delivery and funding for pediatric populations. Which
current trend in the pediatric setting should the nurse expect to find?
a. Increased hospitalization of children
b. Decreased number of uninsured children
c. An increase in ambulatory care
d. Decreased use of managed care
ANS: C
One effect of managed care is that pediatric healthcare delivery has shifted dramatically from the acute
care setting to the ambulatory setting. The number of hospital beds being used has decreased as more
care is provided in outpatient and home settings. The number of uninsured children in the United
States continues to grow. One of the biggest changes in healthcare has been the growth of managed
care.
