Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
The FCN practice focuses on health promotion and wellness, which is primary intervention. It holds the spiritual dimension central to health and healing within the context of the faith community.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Medicare pays for short-term, skilled health care on a part-time or intermittent-care basis for persons aged 65 years or older who are eligible under Title XVIII of the Social Security Act. If family and caregiver support is available in the home to care for the patient between nurse visits, the patient is eligible.
