Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 3

ANA's Health Care Agenda 2005, stating the belief that access to health care is a basic human right and calling for a redirection away from the overuse of expensive, technology-driven, acute, hospital-based services to a new model in which a balance is struck between high-tech treatment and community-based services that focus primarily on prevention. The document was again updated in 2008 and published as the ANA's Health System Reform Agenda. It calls for a restructured system of health care ensuring universal access to a standard package of essential healthcare services for all citizens and residents. This access should be affordable, available, and acceptable. Academic health centers, HMOs, and case manager are not identified as methods to address cost containment.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 2

Information is data that have been interpreted, organized, or structured. The information gained from patient care delivery and outcomes of care delivery is often used in the decision-making process concerning care of future patients. Related concepts are processes that have key elements linking them together. Synthesized information is also referred to as knowledge. Data are discrete entities that are described objectively without interpretation. Data are transformed into a knowledge base for the nurse to utilize to assess and implement care.
