Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
The first stage, outcomes analysis, enables an agency to compare its performance to a national sample, identify factors that may affect outcomes, and identify final outcomes that show im-provement in or stabilization of a client's condition. The second stage, outcomes enhancement, enables the agency to select specific client outcomes and determine strategies to improve care.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A, B, C
Transitional care ensures the coordination and continuity of health care as clients transfer be-tween different locations and different levels of care in the same location. High-intensity transi-tional care programs are designed for populations who have complex or high-risk health prob-lems.
