Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
All the nurses have advanced education in some aspect of clinical care, such as obstetrics or primary care. However, the clinical nurse leader is a manager of care at some point of care and does not have a clinical specialty.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Although publication of quality measures is occurring, this is gradually being implemented. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid (CMS) has established a value-based purchasing program for hospitals that was launched in 2013. The program links Medicare payments to quality performance on common, high-cost conditions such as cardiac, surgical, and pneumonia care. Thus, all reimbursement is not being linked to these quality measures. However, whatever the federal government does to hold down costs is usually quickly copied by insurance and other third-party payers.
