Answer to Question 1

D

Feedback
A Incorrect. Narrative progress notes are used in nursing homes to describe events that are unsuitable for other forms of documentation in the medical record.
B Incorrect. Problem-oriented documentation identifies resident problems, the plan of care to resolve the problem, and the outcome of the problem or response to treatment.
C Incorrect. The RUG is the reimbursement tool in the RAI.
D Correct. Mandated by the federal government to improve the quality of care for nursing home residents, the nurse uses the RAI to help residents in nursing homes achieve optimal functional status. The RAI includes identification of is-sues with the Minimum Data Set, a comprehensive assessment from Resident Assessment Protocols, and the foundation for reimbursement using the Resource Utilization Group.

Answer to Question 2

A, B, C
Chinese cabbage, soy milk, and cheese pizza have all been identified as foods that are high in calcium. Whole wheat bread contains calcium; however, it is not a high calciumrich food.
