The priority population is the most vulnerable and the frail, because they have the most health care needs. Other populations do need health care, but they do not always have immediate need of the health care system.

Fragmented services, cost inefficiencies, and poor health outcomes may be some of the shortcomings seen in health care without the proper model in place to guide the health care delivery system.

Question 3

Student nurses are being questioned by the nursing instructor about the health care coordination system. The instructor knows the students understand health care delivery when making which statement?&#10;A) &#34;Health care is available for everyone at every time.&#34;&#10;B) &#34;Health care needs are best met with a collaborative effort.&#34;&#10;C) &#34;Health care is adequately meeting the needs of the homeless populations.&#34;&#10;D) &#34;Health care needs are mostly in third world countries.&#34;

Accepted Answer

Health care needs many times are not met by one discipline. When a collaborative effort is used, the patient is better served. Health care is not available for everyone, nor is it meeting the needs of the homeless population. Health care needs are worldwide, not just in third world countries.

Question 4

A nursing instructor is talking about care coordination with nursing students. The instructor stresses which of the following to the students concerning care coordination?&#10;A) &#34;A patient must ask for what they need in order to coordinate care.&#34;&#10;B) &#34;The nurse does most of the work in care coordination.&#34;&#10;C) &#34;Medical diagnoses are an integral part of care coordination.&#34;&#10;D) &#34;Collaboration is a significant part of care coordination.&#34;

Accepted Answer

Collaboration is a big part of care coordination. Without the collaboration, there would be no care coordination. Patients asking for their needs to be met does not collaborate care. Nurses do not do all the work in care collaboration. Medical diagnoses are one small part that drives the need for care collaboration.

Medical models focus on the patient's diagnosis. The medical model is not patient specific, nursing oriented, or community oriented.

Question 7

What is the nurse's best response?&#10;A) &#34;Care coordination is a cost effective method created by the community.&#34;&#10;B) &#34;Care coordination forces the health care facilities in the community to work together.&#34;&#10;C) &#34;Care coordination exists for the children and uninsured in the community.&#34;&#10;D) &#34;Care coordination allows health care services to work together in the community.&#34;

Accepted Answer

Care coordination allows all health care/community services to work together so that patient and family needs can be met. Care coordination does not focus on cost methods. Cost coordination does not exist just for children or the uninsured. No one service is forced to work with another service.
