Question 1

In 1994 Jeffrey Bauer described some exciting possibilities that would affect nursing and healthcare delivery if instituted.What did Bauer propose?&#10;A)Place health care on the free market so that maximum choice and quality competition are available.&#10;B)Socialize medicine.&#10;C)Do not change anything.The system is working.&#10;D)Maintain the monopoly held by physicians over the delivery of health care to Americans.&#10;

Accepted Answer

Jeffrey Bauer proposed placing healthcare on the free market to increase competition and promote quality. This would allow for more options and ultimately better healthcare delivery. Socializing medicine and maintaining the current system were not considered the most beneficial options at the time. Maintaining the physician monopoly was also not seen as a viable solution to improving healthcare delivery.

Question 2

While managed care is available,there will be fewer professional nurses in hospitals and more of which type of workers supervised by professional nurses?&#10;A)Janitorial&#10;B)Physicians&#10;C)Multi-skilled&#10;D)Academic&#10;

Accepted Answer

Managed care often promotes the use of multi-skilled workers, such as nursing assistants or medical assistants, to perform tasks that do not require the expertise of a registered nurse. This allows for a smaller nursing staff and more efficient use of resources. However, professional nurses still provide supervision and direction to these workers to ensure proper patient care.

Question 3

What is the priority focus of a case manager?&#10;A)Public policy in health care&#10;B)Utilization of pharmacology measures&#10;C)Ensuring only care deemed essential is provided for patients&#10;D)Promoting compliance with hospital policy and procedures&#10;

Accepted Answer

The priority focus of a case manager is to ensure that only care deemed essential, necessary, and appropriate is provided for patients. This is important for both the patient's well-being and cost-effectiveness in the healthcare system. While public policy, utilization of pharmacology measures, and promoting compliance with hospital policy and procedures may be important, they are not the primary focus of a case manager.

Question 4

The inability to reach consensus on the &#34;entry into practice&#34; preparation for nursing has caused which outcome?&#10;A)A unified approach to professional regulation and licensure&#10;B)Differentiated practice&#10;C)Divisiveness among nurses with different educational preparation&#10;D)The current nursing shortage&#10;

Accepted Answer

The lack of consensus on the educational requirements for entry into nursing practice has led to divisions among nurses who have different levels of educational preparation, such as diploma, associate, and bachelor's degrees.

Question 5

For which reason was the 2-year associate degree in nursing developed?&#10;A)Distance education&#10;B)Nursing shortages&#10;C)Advanced practice roles&#10;D)Consumerism&#10;

Accepted Answer

The 2-year associate degree in nursing was developed to address nursing shortages and increase the number of registered nurses in the workforce. This type of program allows individuals to become RNs quicker than traditional 4-year bachelor's degree programs, which helps to meet the growing demand for healthcare providers.

Question 6

On what should nurses focus in order to keep up with the globalization of health care?&#10;A)Medical care development&#10;B)Advanced practice nursing&#10;C)Culturally competent care&#10;D)Standards of practice&#10;

Accepted Answer

With the globalization of health care, it is increasingly important for nurses to provide culturally competent care to patients from diverse backgrounds. This means understanding and respecting cultural differences in beliefs, values, and behaviors that may impact a patient's health care experience. Nurses must be able to communicate effectively, adapt to different cultural practices, and provide appropriate care while also being aware of their own cultural biases. Focusing on culturally competent care can improve patient outcomes and satisfaction while reducing health disparities. While medical care development, advanced practice nursing, and standards of practice are important considerations for nurses, they do not specifically address the challenges posed by globalization and cultural diversity in health care.

Question 8

Nursing students should focus their skills on delivering health care in which setting?&#10;A)Assisted living facilities&#10;B)Hospitals&#10;C)Intensive care units&#10;D)The community&#10;

Accepted Answer

Nursing students should focus on delivering health care in the community setting because it allows them to work with diverse populations, promote health and prevention, and address health disparities. It also provides opportunities for community-based research and interdisciplinary collaboration. While hospital and ICU experiences are important, nursing students should also prioritize community-based clinical experiences to develop a well-rounded skill set. Assisted living facilities may be appropriate for specialized geriatric care, but community settings encompass a wider range of populations and health issues.

Question 9

Which are past events that have affected the development of professional nursing?&#10;A)The entertainment industry&#10;B)Presidential elections&#10;C)Social movements&#10;D)Natural disasters&#10;

Accepted Answer

Social movements such as the Civil Rights Movement, Women's Rights Movement and AIDS Activism have had a significant impact on the development of professional nursing. These movements created a demand for more diverse and culturally competent healthcare providers, as well as a need for increased research on specific health issues affecting these populations. Additionally, these movements challenged traditional gender roles and led to an increase in the number of male nurses in the profession. The other options, including the entertainment industry, presidential elections and natural disasters, have not had a significant impact on the development of professional nursing.

Question 10

Nurses attempting to educate patients concerning their health needs should inform the patients of their possible future,or:&#10;A)The most likely outcome if things continue unchanged&#10;B)What can happen if some things change&#10;C)The most likely outcome when specific efforts are made to accomplish a desired outcome&#10;D)The outcome that is wanted&#10;

Accepted Answer

Nurses should inform patients of what can happen if certain changes are made, as this empowers patients to take control of their health and make informed decisions. Simply providing information on the most likely outcome if things continue unchanged may not motivate patients to make changes, while focusing only on the outcome that is desired may not provide patients with a full understanding of the situation. Providing information on the most likely outcome when specific efforts are made to accomplish a desired outcome is also important, but it should be done in conjunction with explanations of what can happen with certain changes.
