Answer to Question 1

C
The nurse is most likely learning about diagnosis-related groups (DRGs), which is the system used by
Medicare to group inpatients into categories for reimbursement. This form of classification system is
used to group inpatients into categories based upon the number of inpatient days, age, complications,
and so on. Reimbursement covers room and board, tests, and therapy during a predetermined length of
stay.

Answer to Question 2

B
Bureaucratic management focuses on the use of explicit rules and regulations for governing activities.
The human relations approach views the individual worker as the source of control, motivation, and
productivity. Administrative principles focus on unity of command and direction.
