Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Life care planning is a customized, medically based document that provides assessment of pre-sent and future needs. Typically, a life care plan incorporates medical, financial, psychological, vocational, built environment, and social costs during the remaining life of the client. Life care planning is a tool used in case management. A life care plan assesses the current and future needs of a client for catastrophic or chronic disease over a life span.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
The concern in client-focused models is with the relationship between case manager and client to support continuity of care and to access providers of care. System focused models address the structure and processes of using the population-based tools of disease management and case management plans to offer care for client populations. The social service models provide services to clients to assist them in living independently in the community and in maintaining their health by eliminating or reducing the need for hospital admissions or long-term care. Long-term care is not a model of case management.
