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

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.

ANS: D
WIC is a federal program that provides supplemental food supplies to low-income women who
are pregnant or breast-feeding and to their children until the age of 5 years. Medicaid and the
Medicaid Early and Periodic Screening, Diagnostic, and Treatment (EPSDT) program provides
for well-child examinations and related treatment of medical problems. Children in the WIC
program are often referred for immunizations, but that is not the primary focus of the program.
Public Law 99-457 provides financial incentives to states to establish comprehensive early
intervention services for infants and toddlers with, or at risk for, developmental disabilities.

An emancipated minor is a minor child who has the legal competence of an adult. Legal counsel

interdisciplinary interventions. Clinical pathways are used in multiple settings and for clients
throughout the life span. The steps of the nursing process are assessment, diagnosis, planning,
implementation, and evaluation.
