Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
In the role of health advocate, the FCN facilitates clients' efforts in obtaining needed health services. The FCN uses referral skills and knowledge of community resources to guide individuals as they access available resources. The nurse may, with the client's approval, provide referrals to resources. The FCN recognizes the difficulties encountered by vulnerable populations within the faith community and helps them maneuver the health care maze to access needed resources. Knowing the educational needs of the community is necessary for the FCN to fulfill the role of health educator. As the coordinator of volunteers, the FCN should be aware of how to recruit, train, and direct volunteers to work with the FCN program or health ministry. It is necessary for the FCN to understand spirituality in order to effectively fulfill the role of integrator of health and healing

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
An underlying premise of Albrecht's conceptual model is that professional satisfaction and effective patient outcomes depend on the education and experience of the home health nurse. Within the Albrecht nursing model, the three major elements for measuring the quality of home health care patient outcomes include structural, process, and outcome elements. Although nurses are usually the case managers, Medicare pays for skilled services, including occupational therapy and physical therapy. If nursing is not involved, the skilled professional would be the case manager.
