Answer to Question 1

B
The following are considered third-party payer stakeholders: government, business, and health
insurance companies. Other politically active stakeholders are health care providers, recipients of
federal funding from the NIH, organizations and institutions that employ as well as educate health care
providers, and members of special interest groups.

Answer to Question 2

A
The two friends have selected pediatric nursing as their initial career path target, but they are not
comfortable with their past performance or comfortable when working with children. Since this
appears to be in conflict with their inner comfort or abilities, they should reevaluate the selection of
pediatric nursing before pursuing employment in this field in order to avoid job dissatisfaction and/or
anxiety.
