The nurse applies a costbenefit analysis to the healthcare model. Which costs are the primary concerns of the client? (Select all that apply.)
 
  A) Total payment for the service
  B) Out-of-pocket payment
  C) Suffering and pain
  D) Actual and direct cost of providing a service
  E) Psychological costs

Question 2

A client visits the office of an independent nurse practitioner to have routine blood work done. The client returns 1 week later for a follow-up visit to discuss the results and formulate a new treatment plan.
 
  On the basis of the client's insurance plan, the client is only obligated to pay 15 copay for this service. The total payment that the client's insurance company provides the practitioner is 180, which covers the 80 fee for a 15-minute visit and the 100 cost of laboratory services. On the basis of the nurse's current client load, 40 of the 80 fee for the visit covers overhead and the remaining 40 is profit. In terms of costbenefit analysis, which is the actual financial cost to the nurse for providing this service?
  A) 100
  B) 15
  C) 180
  D) 140

Answer to Question 1

Ans: B, C, E
Feedback:
Clients are interested in their own out-of-pocket payment, as well as the psychological costs, suffering, and pain, which are difficult to quantify yet have long-lasting negative effects. The total payment for the service is usually what matters to the payer. The providers are usually concerned with the actual and direct cost of providing a service.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: D
Feedback:
Using costbenefit analysis, the cost to the provider is the actual and direct cost of providing a service, which in this case would be 100 for the laboratory services plus 40 for office overhead, which equals 140. Clients are interested in their own out-of-pocket payment, which in this case would be 15. The actual total payment for the service is usually what matters to the payer or insurance company, which in this case is 180.
