Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
MCOs are employing nurses in many capacities. Although hospitals are closing and acute care is increasingly found in central medical centers, the same trend may be seen in an increase in neighborhood-based practice centers. While positions are cut in most industries, health care is recognized as an area where growth in employment is expected. However, nurses are increasingly employed in community settings as opposed to hospitals. This change reflects the move toward community-based care rather than hospital-based tertiary care. To help decrease the continued rise in health care costs, the increased emphasis is on disease prevention rather than high-cost treatment.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Health protection is used to detect disease in its early state or maximize health within the constraints of disease. Unfortunately, screening will not prevent disease. Screenings are a secondary health promotionnot a primary health promotion.
