Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 2

The best response for this client's situation is just to sit quietly with her and be available to talk when she is ready. Although the nurse might say, I'm so sorry about your diagnosis, that presumes that the client is crying about that situation, which might be inaccurate. The nurse should wait for cues from the client before proceeding. Asking Why are you crying? is too direct at this time. Everything will be okay is a platitude and may be inaccurate. It minimizes the client's current condition.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 2

Under capitation, healthcare providers are paid a fixed dollar amount per person for providing an agreed-upon set of health services to a defined population for a specific period of time. If the costs of providing service are lower than the fixed amount, the provider organization makes a profit. Prospective payment is a payment mechanism for reimbursing hospitals for inpatient health care services in which a predetermined rate is set for treatment of specific illnesses. Admission criteria are used to verify the medical necessity of an inpatient stay. Personal payment is money for services not covered by insurance paid by the recipient of care; it may also include complete payment for healthcare services when the patient does not have any insurance coverage.
