Answer to Question 1

ANS: A, B, D
Trends in health care services, client responses, and changes in community characteristics must be documented and summarized periodically. Outcome measurements such as client use of on-site services, childhood and adult immunization patterns, pregnancy outcomes, emergency depart-ment and hospital use, and other health indexes including client satisfaction and quality-of-life measures should also be collected. Staff compliance with HIPAA is a legal responsibility of staff and data should not need to be collected about this topic.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Management has shifted from inpatient care as a point of entry to primary care providers as points of entry. The other statements are false.
