Answer to Question 1

3
Explanation: 1. Capitation rates are paid to a health care provider whether services were provided. Payer
sources are those categories in which the facility has obtained payment. Volume and mix of
clients is helpful in determining revenue projections. A higher volume of outpatient
procedures compared to a higher volume of Medicare clients can increase the revenue for the
year. Comparing the volume and mix of clients will help analyze why revenue is up or down.
Medicare reimbursement rates are important to consider but the CNO and CFO have to look at
all sources of income.

Answer to Question 2

3

Rationale 3: Nurses in each state are governed by their own state's nurse practice act, and these regulations must be consulted and followed.
Rationale 4: Specialty organizations do not set the legal rules and regulations of delegation.
Global Rationale:
