Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

According to a 2018 report by the National Center for Health Statistics, the majority of nursing homes in the United States are operated on a for-profit basis.

(Choice B is false. According to the same report, women are more likely than men to eventually need nursing home care. Choice C is also false. The report states that nursing homes are now treating a sicker and more complex mix of patients than they did 20 years ago. Choice D is also false. The number of nursing homes in the United States has actually increased since the passage of Medicare in 1965. Choice E is false because nursing homes are staffed primarily by nurses and certified nursing assistants, not doctors.)
